Mac full release - what's the expected ETA?

[jacknobody]

Hello, any news about the Mac version? Can't find anything reliable on the web about it...

[Damage Case]

No one knows man. Larian never gave out an official date

[Eike]

Okay, public service announcement for Mac users:

This is what Larian say about when the Mac Version of the game will be launched:

“Baldur’s Gate 3 will release on September 6th on PS5 (September 3rd for owners of the Digital Deluxe Edition). We’re also targeting September 6 for Mac (via Steam, GOG, GeForce NOW) — to be confirmed. Additional platforms TBD.”

This does not mean it will launch on September 6. It really just means that it will launch sometime in early September. So, hang on in there!

I bought it and started playing today, will I have to restart on a new save when the full release drops or will it my save carry-over?

You're playing the early release. No save from an early release of BG3 will carry over to the final release.

and be sure to delete the save files before uninstalling early access, that was Larian's suggestion.

I envy you optimism, Simon.

Sadly, my experience through all of early access as a macOS user means that I'm not holding my breath that the full game will launch for Mac on September 6.

I hope I'm wrong!🫣

waiting with you guys ...

I stupidly deleted all of my saved games and all suggested files when the OG launch dropped, but didn't read the fine print that the MAC launch would be delayed for a month+. So I've just been waiting also, checking every day, hoping to see the release. I understand that they are working with the PC launch to fix all of the issues before the other platform releases, but man reading how other players have already run through the entire game multiple time is a real kick in the ding dong.

I think spring 2024.

F

Keen to play the full version asap!!

[litzerglitzer]

I've checked their Instagram-Account and they only post about the PS5 release :( no word of the Mac release... it would be nice to get an update on how things are going

While I understand that the delays are necessary, it’s frustrating that the steam page for BG3 says it’s fully compatible with Mac, but says nothing about prerelease. I’m still *hoping* it releases tomorrow, because I’ve played through the prerelease about 4 times… but it might not

I believe devs/publishers control tags themselves. You could report it to steam.

I'm really hoping this comes out tomorrow. Would much rather play on my M2 Mac Mini than Steam Deck.
