Baldur’s Gate 3 Discount: Larian Cuts 30% for Third Birthday Sale
Larian is marking Baldur’s Gate 3’s third birthday with a new price cut across platforms, dropping the RPG by 30% to celebrate three years since early access first led players into the Forgotten Realms.
Release timing and availability: 30% discount for the anniversary
The sale runs on all platforms starting this week, tied to the game’s upcoming third anniversary. On PlayStation Store, players can get the base game at a reduced price until 13 August 2026 at 0:59.
| Platform | Status | Date/window |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation Store | 30% discount on base game | Until 13 August 2026, 0:59 |
| PlayStation Store | 30% discount on Digital Deluxe Edition | Until 13 August 2026, 0:59 |
PlayStation pricing (during the promotion): the standard edition is listed for 48.99 EUR instead of 69.99 EUR. The Digital Deluxe Edition drops to 55.99 EUR.
The Digital Deluxe package includes digital extras such as the soundtrack, an artbook, and the Bard Pack.
What makes this anniversary week notable
Baldur’s Gate 3 launched after a long Early Access period—nearly three years—on 3 August 2023 for PC. Console releases followed later: 6 September 2023 for PS5 and 7 December 2023 for Xbox Series X|S.
By the end of 2025, the game had sold over 20 million copies, reflecting sustained demand since launch.
Larian also highlighted the promotion as part of its three-year celebration, pointing players to the reduced price while the studio celebrates “three years full of adventures.”
PlayStation Plus trial and save transfer
For PlayStation players with an active PlayStation Plus membership, Larian is offering a way to try the game first: a two-hour trial via the game test version. The trial is unrestricted during that window, and after buying the full version, progress can be transferred so players can continue their adventure seamlessly.
Player impact, plus what’s still unclear
If you’ve been waiting to start, this is a straightforward entry point: a 30% cut on both the standard edition and the Digital Deluxe Edition, with the PS Store window running until mid-August 2026.
Beyond the PlayStation Store details and the PlayStation Plus trial, the promotion’s exact dates for other storefronts weren’t specified in the available information—so availability timing may differ outside PlayStation.
As a reminder of why the community keeps coming back, Baldur’s Gate 3 remains one of the highest-scoring games of its era, with a Metascore of 96 and a reported average PlayStation user rating of 4.79 stars.
