Larian Studios har i dag meddelt, at Baldur's Gate 3 til PC rykkes frem fra en planlagt udgivelse den 31. august, til en ny udgivelsesdato som hedder 3. august. Modsat bliver PlayStation 5 udgaven forsinket en smule og den udkommer nu 6. september.
Larian Studios siger i meddelelsen:
Baldur's Gate 3 is targeting 60 frames-per-second and we're close to achieving that on the PS5 platform but need a bit more extra time. We don't want to compromise on quality, and feel it would be a shame to downscale to 30fps or make other compromises to hit an arbitrary date.
We understand that folks may be disappointed with this but we're close enough to reaching new heights for RPGs on the system that the benefits of a short delay outweigh the downsides of rushing the PS5 release and having to downscale. The full Mac version will also be released at a later date, and we'll update you as soon as we have a target.
I februar meddelte Larian Studios, at der var tekniske udfordringer med Xbox Series X/S versionerne, men de er stadig optimistiske omkring Xbox udgaverne og det lyder som om, at det er Series S versionen der giver problemer:
We're optimistic about Baldur's Gate 3 on the Xbox Series X, but in order to announce and release the game on Xbox, we need to ensure that the game is performing without compromise across the entire Xbox Series X|S ecosystem, in multiplayer and with split-screen.
We already put a lot of effort into making it work and will continue to do so. Like with the PS5 version, we'll release it when it's ready. We'll update you as soon as we can.
En Mac version er også planlagt og den vil komme på et senere tidspunkt.
