Baldur’s Gate 3 countdown: Exact start time and date
(dotesports.com)
Larian Studios has published the official start time for Baldur’s Gate 3, which is a global release and will be available to players around the world at the same time. Release times can be seen below:
- 8am PDT (Los Angeles)
- 11am EDT (New York/Quebec)
- 12pm BRT (Rio De Janeiro)
- 4pm BST (London)
- 5pm CST (Berlin)
- 1am, Aug. 4 (Sydney)
- 3am, Aug. 4 (Auckland)
Developer Larian has recommended players who have taken part in early access uninstall their game and delete their save files to avoid issues at launch. Unfortunately, players will have to wait until the release time to start their download of the full game as a Baldur’s Gate 3 preload is not available. The game is also quite large, over 100 GB, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to download it before you start playing.
I got real hyped when the trailer came out, then I managed to mostly forget about it. Now I'm trying desperately to go back to the amnesia stage because I won't have a chance to play until next week. But at least if the download servers get swamped early on, I won't notice... 🤷
Yeah. Steam is really known for having bad server infrastructure. :S
Edit: Yeah, wow, never mind. Download literally cancelled with the error "content unavailable"
