Six years in the making and more than twenty years in the waiting, we can finally say this: Baldur’s Gate 3 is out now on PC! It's time to gather your party and venture forth. Make sure you're sufficiently prepared with our tips for ensuring a smooth transition from Early Access to release. If you have questions or run into issues, check the FAQ below or contact our support team.
I would make a review thread but it seems like reviewers just started playing, so there aren’t many yet.
Hardly any mention of this from Apple or their associated media, despite the fact that an AAA game launching a Mac port on day 1 is virtually unheard-of in 2023.
Unless it’s shipped to the App Store and not just Steam, they wouldn’t market it anyway. I don’t believe they publicise third-party marketplaces / appstores (which Steam arguable is).
According to their listed requirements, yes. In practice, haven’t tested myself but the M2 is a bit better performance-wise than their minimum card on Windows (a GTX 970, when the M2 is closer to a GTX 1060) so I imagine it’ll work but not exactly with maxed-out settings.
It’s nice that it’s ARM native on launch tho, I think storage will be my only issue there (I opted for 256GB model because the storage upgrade is too expensive)

Announce to what gaming audience?
Except it’s not available on Mac on day one. Larian hasn’t even announced when it will be aside from “at a later date.”
Update: Apparently, the Steam Discussions page has a post that lists it as September 5.
Because it only launches today on PC to not compete with starfield. Other platforms are the original release date

What it runs on mac? What the fuck I’m never going to work again.
Yep - M1 optimized too, so it actually runs well on Mac.
I assume that means the M2 Air is going to be just fine with it?

> Minimum
> GTX 970
I guess I really need to upgrade, huh?
