Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is even winning over people who don\u2019t like video games Larian StudiosThe recently released Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has attracted all kinds of players, even those who don\u2019t typically like video games. Anticipation for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 seemed incredibly high before launch, yet few could\u2019ve predicted its meteoric success. Within a day of release, it was confirmed that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 had already become the second-biggest Steam launch in 2023 behind Hogwarts Legacy. The RPG reached even greater heights over the weekend, hitting 800,000+ concurrent Steam players on Sunday. And, apparently, the core audience isn\u2019t the sole reason for such early successes. Even those who typically have no affinity for video games are giving Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 a try and loving it. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players even include folks who don\u2019t like games Over the weekend, a Redditor shared a photo of their wife deeply entrenched in the world of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Most interesting is that, according to the Redditor, their spouse \u201cdoesn\u2019t like video games.\u201d She evidently liked this one enough to have devoted nine straight hours to it. The original poster added that after playing on Steam Deck for a few years, \u201cshe literally hasn\u2019t moved for at least four hours since I put her in front of the UltraWide\u2026\u201d Several replies pointed out the wife\u2019s bottle of wine and nearly-empty glass. \u201cYou know it\u2019s serious when the wife has a bottle of wine within reach. You aren\u2019t getting your chair back for some time,\u201d one person told the original poster. \u201cSlowly, gently, this is how a life is taken. To the gamer realm,\u201d someone else commented. A few other people chimed in to say their wives were also obsessed with Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. One person wrote, \u201cI just found out my wife never went to bed last night because she has been playing this game\u2026 I think she\u2019s been playing for at least 20 hours with like 5-10 minute breaks every hour or two\u2026\u201d Concerning the OP\u2019s spouse, though, such an interest in Baldur\u2019s Gate may not come as much of a surprise. The Redditor explained, \u201cShe\u2019s a cosplayer who loves TTRPGS and is a fantasy author so I [suppose] there\u2019s overlap haha.\u201d By all accounts, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is more than worthy of the attention it\u2019s getting. So it\u2019s good to see that Larian\u2019s latest is even capturing the hearts and minds of non-gamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
