Baldur’s Gate 3 releases on August 3rd on PC, via Steam and GOG, and PS5 on September 6th. With the variety of platforms that it plans to launch on, does this mean Baldur’s Gate 3 is cross-platform?
Is Baldur’s Gate 3 Cross Platform?
Sadly the anticipated RPG title isn’t cross-platform. This means whatever system players choose, they will have to play with others on their respective platforms. For example, if someone were to play online on PS5, they can only play with other PS5 players. The same rule applies to other platforms as well. While it’s not coming at launch, the feature may be released in the future.
Does Baldur’s Gate 3 Have Cross-Progression?
While there aren’t cross-platform capabilities, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Baldur’s Gate 3 does in fact have cross-progression. Meaning data does carry over if a player decides to play on a different platform. This makes it a lot easier to play with friends who are on different systems.
