Buy Baldur's Gate III Deluxe Edition PC key

Baldur's Gate III is a role-playing game set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. A mind flayer parasite planted in your brain is awakening mysterious abilities and turning you into a monster. You can resist its corruption or embrace it, while navigating a conflict involving devils, deities and otherworldly forces that threatens the Forgotten Realms. Your choices shape the fate of the world and the legacy you leave behind.

Create your character

Choose from 12 classes and 11 races from the D&D Player's Handbook, with 31 subraces and 46 subclasses. You can create your own character or play as one of seven Origin heroes, each with a hand-crafted background, distinct traits, an agenda and a perspective on the world. Their stories intersect with the main narrative, and your decisions shape their outcomes. The Dark Urge is a fully customisable Origin hero with its own story and mechanics.

The Character Creator offers extensive ways to define your character, and the game responds to who you are. You can adventure, find loot, fight and form romantic relationships as you progress up to Level 12. More than 600 spells and actions give you ways to interact with the world and approach its challenges.

Explore the Forgotten Realms

Travel through a detailed world filled with characters, dangers, secrets and deceit, from shadow-cursed forests and the caverns of the Underdark to the rooftops and streets of Baldur's Gate. Sneaking, climbing, jumping, shoving and other interactions help you explore; the world's verticality is an important part of the journey. Your decisions affect the story, your relationships and the world around you, and each playthrough can unfold differently.

Combat and choices

Combat is based on the D&D 5e ruleset, with team-based initiative, advantage and disadvantage, and roll modifiers. Advanced AI, environmental interactions and fluid combat reward planning and strategy. Three difficulty settings let you adjust the challenge; weighted dice can sway the battle, while Tactician mode offers a hardcore experience.

Party and relationships

You can play online in a party of up to four. Work together to combine your forces and attack enemies at the same time, or split up so each player can pursue their own quests and agendas. Your companions have their own moral compasses and respond to your choices. Relationships formed along the way can offer moments of respite at camp and influence decisions, though friendships are not necessary to the journey.

A cinematic story

More than 174 hours of cinematics follow the story and its choices. Companions' personal stories can lead to redemption, salvation, domination or other outcomes, while the looming threat of war and a mind flayer invasion hangs over Baldur's Gate.
