Second Hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3
As the developers enjoy the much deserved praise from fans and critics alike after the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 on PC last week, they haven’t just been sitting back and enjoying the show. Despite the success, they are now looking forward towards the release of the game on Playstation 5, set to occur on September 6, 2023. With this additional month, they’re taking the time not just to get the Sony version ready to play but also taking the time to address bugs and glitches which have popped up long the way on PC.
The full list of fixes can be found on their Steam Event page, and include a wide variety of issues which have been addressed.
