Despite its launch in August 2023, Baldur’s Gate 3 boasts an impressive number of players and has stayed relevant for over a year. It has a massive world and a boatload of possible choices driving the narrative, resulting in new possibilities almost every day in the game.

So if you’re looking for the number of players playing Baldur’s Gate 3 in 2024, here’s everything you need to know about the game’s player count.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Steam player count this month

Baldur’s Gate 3 averaged 68,290 players every day between July and August 2024 according to SteamCharts. Do note that this player count is only for Steam and the game is available on PlayStation, macOS, and Xbox, so it doesn’t reflect the stats for all platforms.

This is also a third-party website, so take these numbers with a pinch of salt. Larian Studios have not revealed the exact player count in August 2024, so this is the best way to estimate how many players are exploring the Forbidden Lands.

BG3 peak player count

Baldur’s Gate 3’s peak player count was 116,5994 in the last 30 days. Its highest count was back in August 2023 with 875,343 concurrent players on Steam, even surpassing the likes of Call of Duty.

With BG3 being out for almost a year, Larian Studios have started slowing down the updates and new content. However, they have announced that the upcoming Patch 7 is set to drop somewhere around September 2024, most likely bringing back some players.

The replayability factor is likely one of the main reasons behind its massive player base, even after a year. You can have multiple playthroughs with different outcomes each time, so there’s always something new to try out in the game.

If you are starting out on your BG3 journey, try to get the best weapons for you and your companions‘ classes as they will determine your entire combat strategy.
