- Love Baldur's Gate 3? The DnD games that started it all are now on Game Pass - 9 October 2025
Considering the immense popularity of Baldur's Gate 3, I'm a little surprised at how few people have played its predecessors. Listen, I get it. They're more difficult to play on modern hardware, some of the mechanics are archaic, the graphics not as realistic, and you can't shag a bear. But they're both fantastic RPGs in their own rights, and well worth your time, especially if you want to find out more about the world of Dungeons and Dragons. Luckily, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 arrive on Game Pass today, making the classic fantasy romps more accessible than ever. Read the rest of the story...

- Reflections Of Myth & Valor: A Portrait Pack by Mike Sass Releasing April 29th - 11 April 2025
To celebrate Baldur’s Gate's 25th anniversary a while ago in 2023, we organized a Community Contest with O.G. artist Mike Sass to give our players the chance of a lifetime: to have their portraits transformed into the art style of Baldur’s Gate and added to the game. A lot of fans participated in the Contest, and all of you wanted Mike to draw more than just 2 portraits.

- The original Baldur's Gate leads Prime Gaming July free games roster - 27 June 2024
Baldur's Gate 3 unquestionably led the conversation in 2023. The standout Larian Studios RPG masterfully weaves the classes and settings of Dungeons and Dragons into a gripping, choice-driven story packed with memorable characters. But Larian's appointment for the role was long-considered, given the reputation of the franchise as some of the best PC games ever made, and now you can get the definitive release of the first, BioWare-developed, game in the series as a free game if you subscribe to Prime Gaming in July.

How many times have you finished Baldur's Gate 3 ? You've explored Faerun, romanced Astarion, Karlach, and Halsin. Done everything the epochal Larian RPG seemingly has to offer. Of course, you'll be back. Officially the best game of 2023 according to us (and, essentially, everyone else), Baldur's Gate 3 will be a mainstay of every PC player for years. But maybe you want a change. Maybe you want to see how it all got started. If BG3 is your first foray into the superb DnD series, you should certainly try the original classic from 1998. Enhanced and remastered for modern players, Baldur's Gate 1 is now available for less than $5. Read the rest of the story...

- 26 staff have been laid off at Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition studio Beamdog - 24 September 2023
Beamdog, the studio founded by former BioWare developers Trent Oster and Cameron Tofer, is best known for re-releases of CRPGs like Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights, and Icewind Dale. It was acquired by Embracer Group earlier this year, and its latest game, Mythforce (which is basically Vermintide if it looked like a He-Man cartoon) came out of early access this month. It's the kind of online co-op game that would benefit from robust post-launch support, which makes now a particulaly rough time for 26 members of the team to be laid off... Read more.
