In a Steam community update from Larian Studios, the developers informed players that instead of having to wait until August 3, PC players will get Baldurs Gate 3 on August 3. The developers are saying that they want to get their game to the hands of players as soon as possible instead of having to sit on it. This also helps them avoid launching at the same time as Starfield.

PlayStation 5 players will have to wait a bit longer though. The PS5 version of Baldur's Gate 3 was actaully delayed by an extra week and will launch on September 6. This is because Larian Studios want to get the PS5 version of Baldur's Gate 3 running at 60 FPS. Note that this will only be possible in single-player mode.
