Digital Foundry : Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the most highly acclaimed games of the year, marrying the best of video games with the complexity and nuance of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. It's unashamedly a PC-centric title, with a dense interface and controls best suited for a computer keyboard so it's not totally clear how well the game will fare on PS5. Adding to potential controller quirks, the PC build has rather problematic performance in a handful of areas later in the game, which threaten to disrupt the PS5 and its relatively meagre CPU.
Larian Studios is unable to work on a Nintendo Switch 2 port of Baldur's Gate 3 amid a shaky relationship with the IP owner, Hasbro.
Shaky Relationship meaning Hasbro wanted an even larger cut of the pie moving forward. Also why we're not getting BG4 w/Larian. Hasbro just wanted to bleed them dry.
no im pretty sure it was related to the people from hasbro that helped with the game getting fired or that only the people from Larian were eligible for bonusses and Larian didn't fuck with that
The people from Hasbro were fired by Hasbro. Why would non-workers on a game get bonuses for not having worked on the game (meaning anyone at Hasbro)?
Because they are busy for the next Divinity game on Switch 2. Fine by me because I already have BG3 on my PS5, and believe me or not, I didn't finish it. Considering I bought the Deluxe edition to play it ahead of everyone. XD
if this were able to run on the switch 2, then theoretically the PS4 pro should be able to as well. can't wait for that port
you do realize that in terms of numbers it might be on par with a PS4 Pro. However, GPU wise, it has a much larger feature set available to it. The PS4 Pro couldn't even run FSR natively.

Our Baldur’s Gate 3 PS5 Pro review covers performance modes, PSSR 4K, split screen, cross play and value, and explains why Sony’s upgraded hardware is the best place to play this RPG on console.
Life is hard, people are annoying, and you wanna do some things you never could in real life. How about you settle down with some of these single-player games from across a range of genres?
Some great games here. I want to play Hades (although the art style isn't my...uh...style), Silent Hill 2, and Hollow Knight.
Awesome!
Until you get to Act 3 and the game starts dropping to 20fps. Hopefully Larian Studios will patch that area up on ps5 and on PC soon.
20 FPS isn't really playable, even for a game like this. Needs some optimization on the CPU side of things
Another shite engine, Not worse then starfields. But bad enough. There's nothing going on that should even affect the CPU that much. More likely legacy engines running old code on modern cpu's/gpu's.
Makes no sense.
I really hope they reconsider the digital only. I'd like to buy this sooner then later
