Baldur's Gate 3 lands on Mac September 21

Larian Studios has announced that it will be rolling out its hit role-playing game, "Baldur's Gate 3," for Mac before the end of September.

Initially launched on PC in early August, Baldur's Gate 3 has become an immediate hit, and has been received by reviewers and players alike as a best game of 2023 candidate. Since then, the game has been preparing to roll out for more platforms, landing on the PlayStation 5 in Early September, and expected to appear on Xbox Series X/S before the end of the year.

However, Mac gamers can expect Baldur's Gate 3 before the end of September, with the developer saying that it will be fully supported on macOS on September 21.

Thank you from the fiery infernal engine we keep in place of our heart. We couldn't have asked for a better response to Baldur's Gate 3.

Patch 3 is coming September 21 with full support for BG3 on Mac.

Larian hasn't been very good at communicating about the Mac release delay. It just wasn't available launch day and then almost silent since except a vague statement about releasing later in September (2.5 week delay).

On the other hand: it'll be nice to play with the 3 major and 5 (or 6) hot-fixes already in place, and hopefully tested with the Sonoma release candidate.

Fully agree, communication was remarkably poor for Mac release. Those of us who'd been playing on Mac in early access were pretty surprised by the delay and then we were just kept in limbo for weeks. Thankfully I also have a PC and have been able to play since launch, but I'm looking forward to playing on Mac again soon! I'm not sure how it'll shake out with the full release, but in early access my M1 Mac Studio ran BG3 noticeably smoother than my decently specced PC (RTX 2080, 32 GB RAM, etc). Fantastic game!

Good to hear! I didn't try early access (too many other games in the queue), and CyberPunk 2077 Phantom Liberty is shipping about a week later. No time!
