Baldur’s Gate 3 has finally launched on PS5. Much like its PC counterpart, it has received near-unanimous praise, though console players haven’t been without problems. Some PS5 players have been dealing with the frustrating problem of game crashes.
Larian Studios has acknowledged the issue, and a Tweet explains that the bug is likely connected to PSN. Developers are working on it, but in the meantime, you’re advised to disconnect your console from the internet when playing Baldur’s Gate 3.
A fix will hopefully be out soon, as Larian Studios has a patch scheduled for September 21, and it’ll finally bring the game to Macs. Larian Studios still has plenty of work ahead, as there is also an Xbox Series X/S port on the way.
Critically acclaimed but not flawless
Though BG3 has been basking in the spotlight, players have also been struggling through quite a few issues. Act 3’s performance taxing even the most capable PCs is the most glaring problem, and PS5 players haven’t been spared either.
Larian Studios has been mending many of these issues with major BG3 patches, including one which featured over a hundred fixes. Fortunately, these minor hurdles haven’t been enough to stop the game from reaching over 800,000 concurrent players on Steam and drawing adoration from both critics and players.
