Baldur's Gate 3 Mods Help Player Numbers Grow, And Someone In The Vatican Just Bought A Copy

More than a year after Baldur's Gate 3 originally launched in August 2023, the game is still putting up impressive numbers, and has even sold one additional copy to someone who may know Pope Francis.

Larian publishing director Michael Douse shared some new Baldur's Gate 3 stats on social media recently, beginning with how the game's average daily peak concurrent players are up 3% this year compared to last year. That likely has to do with the introduction of mods earlier this year, Douse said. Mods have proven to be extremely popular in Baldur's Gate 3, as players have downloaded more than 50 million of them.

Daily active users, meanwhile, are up more than 20% over last year's numbers, while average daily Steam Deck users have increased 61% year-over-year. It's not clear if Douse is talking about Steam numbers specifically with all of these stats, or if they also include data from the Xbox and PlayStation versions.
