Larian founder Swen Vincke is studying our Baldur’s Gate 3 Steam critiques, but when he hasn’t learn all of them, it is nothing private: Even at a tempo of 5 seconds per evaluation, it will take the armor-clad CEO a month with out breaks to get via each one in all them. There at the moment are over 500,000 critiques for Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam.
“Half one million is an actual huge quantity,” Vincke wrote on X this week after hitting the milestone. “I want we may get all of you in a single place, shake your arms and chat in regards to the journey you had. However within the absence of that, studying these critiques has been pure pleasure.”
Technically, Baldur’s Gate 3 handed the 500K Steam consumer critiques milestone earlier than this week. In its critiques tallies, Steam would not embody critiques from customers who did not buy the sport straight from Steam (individuals who redeemed it with a code bought elsewhere or that was given to them). Within the case of Baldur’s Gate 3, that excludes over 60,000 critiques from the overall displayed on its retailer web page.
On the extra correct rely of about 560,000 critiques, Baldur’s Gate 3 is the twenty fifth most-reviewed recreation on Steam, and it is the one recreation in that group that was launched previously 12 months. It is the one 2023 recreation within the prime 39, even: The following 2023 recreation on the record is Deadly Firm, the fortieth most reviewed Steam recreation with 331,552.
Counter-Strike 2 would not rely as a 2023 recreation because it inherited all of CS:GO’s critiques, and the identical goes for the Name of Responsibility app, which inherited critiques from 2022’s Fashionable Warfare 2. Granted, BG3 did spend some time in early entry, however the nice majority of its Steam critiques got here after launch—it solely had about 42,000 firstly of final August.

I did not want 500,000 “Overwhelmingly Constructive” Steam critiques to persuade me Baldur’s Gate 3 is nice—we gave the RPG one in all our highest evaluation scores in current reminiscence—nevertheless it’s one more measure of simply how astonishingly profitable it has been.
Essentially the most-reviewed Steam recreation from this 12 months is, no shock, Palworld, which is rapidly climbing the ranks: It presently has about 240,639 critiques, making it the 66th most-reviewed recreation on Steam proper now.
