How Baldur’s Gate 3 Stands Out From Other Top 10 Concurrent Player Titles on Steam

Baldur’s Gate 3 has officially become a smash-hit success, surpassing all expectations that developer Larian Studios had for the latest entry in a series that hasn’t had a new title for decades. Famously having reached a concurrent player count exceeding 800,000 on Steam during a recent peak, Baldur’s Gate 3 has become the story of an underdog title from a niche genre rising to the top of the industry through the sheer goodwill of its developer. The original titles of the series may have been highly influential for their time, but Larian Studios’ effort is prospering through much more than name recognition.
