Unlike many other games, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 didn\u2019t provide players the opportunity to pre-download the game. Developers from Larian commented on social media and their forums to tell them that the nature of their \u201cearly access\u201d client made setting up a pre-download impossible on the game\u2019s Steam page. Related: Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 devs want you to completely nuke your early access progress before launch For that reason, the devs advised players to delete their early access saved accounts and uninstall the early access build ahead of the game\u2019s launch on Thursday morning. In the directions that Larian laid out in a blog post to the Steam store, the devs also recommended that players install the full version of the game on an SSD and update their graphics card drivers for optimal performance. How big is the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 download? The official Steam page for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 indicates that players need to have 122.41 GB of free space on their hard drive or SSD in order to install the game on your PC. The download will take a minute, but it\u2019s worthwhile. Just make sure that you have the space to download it beforehand. I started a download very shortly after the game launched, and at around 35 MB\/s, it seems like the download takes less than an hour on my relatively slow PC that I purchased in 2016 and haven\u2019t upgraded since. Those speeds included me doing some work on my computer at the same time as the downloads, so if you dedicate your PC\u2019s full time and energy to the downloading task, you can certainly get it loaded up faster and be ready to play Baldur's Gate 3 now that it's launched.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PARTY-e1690564816681.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923410"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=923410"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923410\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":923428,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923410\/revisions\/923428"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=923410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=923410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=923410"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=923410"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=923410"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=923410"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=923410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Unlike many other games, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 didn\u2019t provide players the opportunity to pre-download the game. Developers from Larian commented on social media and their forums to tell them that the nature of their \u201cearly access\u201d client made setting up a pre-download impossible on the game\u2019s Steam page. Related: Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 devs want you to completely nuke your early access progress before launch For that reason, the devs advised players to delete their early access saved accounts and uninstall the early access build ahead of the game\u2019s launch on Thursday morning. In the directions that Larian laid out in a blog post to the Steam store, the devs also recommended that players install the full version of the game on an SSD and update their graphics card drivers for optimal performance. How big is the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 download? The official Steam page for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 indicates that players need to have 122.41 GB of free space on their hard drive or SSD in order to install the game on your PC. The download will take a minute, but it\u2019s worthwhile. Just make sure that you have the space to download it beforehand. I started a download very shortly after the game launched, and at around 35 MB\/s, it seems like the download takes less than an hour on my relatively slow PC that I purchased in 2016 and haven\u2019t upgraded since. Those speeds included me doing some work on my computer at the same time as the downloads, so if you dedicate your PC\u2019s full time and energy to the downloading task, you can certainly get it loaded up faster and be ready to play Baldur's Gate 3 now that it's launched.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PARTY-e1690564816681.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923410"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=923410"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923410\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":923428,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923410\/revisions\/923428"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=923410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=923410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=923410"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=923410"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=923410"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=923410"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=923410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
