Today, Larian Studios announced that early access for Baldur’s Gate 3 would be launching on PC and Google Stadia platforms in late September.
Larian Studios Creative Director Swen Vincke revealed the early access launch date of Baldur’s Gate 3 during a Panel From Hell Livestream on the GameSpot YouTube channel on August 18, 2020.
