Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is an incredibly popular game, even though it\u2019s a digital-only title on two platforms. This will change soon, as the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Deluxe Edition releases a physical version of the game and brings it to Xbox Series X\/S for the first time. Unfortunately, this kind of release will attract the attention of scalpers, who have already been the bane of the PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S generation. The limited physical release of one of the year\u2019s biggest games will likely be attacked by scalping bots as soon as it goes online. Those who want to own a physical version of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 won\u2019t have to pay more than they should, as a key figure in Larian Studios is promising that the Deluxe Edition won\u2019t be a short-term deal and everyone will have a chance to own one. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players won\u2019t need to rely on scalpers, as there are plenty of copies of the Deluxe Edition on the way Larian Studios\u2019 head of publishing, Michael Douse, has addressed the issue of scalpers on their Twitter\/X page. According to Douse, players won\u2019t need to deal with scalpers, as the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Deluxe Edition will be released in waves. This means that there will be several releases of the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Deluxe Edition going into next year. If demand keeps up, there should be enough for everyone without resorting to scalpers or online reseller sites. The Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Deluxe Edition is also available exclusively through the Larian Store, which means the company controls how the stock (and any future waves) will be sold. Those interested in owning the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Deluxe Edition should know it costs 79.99 USD. While owning a physical disc for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 will be the main draw for many fans, the Deluxe Edition also comes with different items, including a cloth map and three soundtrack CDs, explaining the higher price. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is still available to purchase digitally, so the Deluxe Edition isn\u2019t necessary, even if scalpers managed to swipe some. Some fans just prefer to own a game for their collection without needing to tie it to a digital account that could be lost over the years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 dev assures players they won\u2019t need scalpers for Deluxe Edition Larian StudiosOne of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s developers has assured fans that plenty of Deluxe Editions will be available, so they won\u2019t need to rely on scalpers.
