Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is keeping players for longer than Elden Ring after release Larian Studios \/ FromSoftwareBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 is undoubtedly one of the best games released in 2023 and is now beating other single-player titles like Elden Ring in terms of player retention. Larian Studios\u2019 latest installment to their RPG franchise has been massive. Our Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 review alone was 125 hours into the making, which roughly gives you an idea of how big the game actually is. You can easily say the BG3 stands tall among the likes of Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and The Witcher 3, to name a few. Apart from following the campaign, the game has a lot more to offer. Its non-linear story includes exploration, inventory management, looting, and so much more to keep you engaged. And players from the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community are on the same page as well. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is outpacing games like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and more The graph in the original Reddit post shows a playerbase retention comparison between Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and Hogwarts Legacy, since the day of their release. There\u2019s no doubt how big Elden Ring is, both in terms of gameplay length and lore. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 stands on an equal level, if not more. Since the game is set in the universe of DnD, it naturally attracts all the fans from that franchise. Being a role-playing game, some other factors come into play like looting crates and treasures and managing items, rather than just simply following the story blindly. These contribute to a ton of retention time, as players have to engage more for an ideal experience. And not to forget, the turn-based mechanic takes it a level further. Some players have spent more than 300 hours on the game, out of which, the story claims a very small part. One user said, \u201cIn my 300 hours so far, I reckon; 100 hours looting, 100 hours inventory management, 50 hours story, and the remainder probably procrastinating, passing out from no sleep, AFK, etc \ud83d\ude02 This game is a different breed.\u201d Another compared it to FromSoftware\u2019s souls-like and commented, \u201cCrazy it\u2019s outpacing Elden Ring though that\u2019s also a huge game.\u201d Considering the plethora of content Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 offers, the replayability is off the charts. A player shares a similar value and said, \u201cI can\u2019t remember the last time I finished a game\u2019s campaign then immediately started a new one other than BG3. The replay value is insane.\u201d At the time of writing, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is only available to the PC players. However, its PS5 launch is approaching fast, meaning the console playerbase will get to experience the greatness of the game pretty soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
