The smash hit Baldur's Gate 3 is coming to PS5! Here are the exact start times around the globe for those with Early Access, as well as the pre-load details.
Rejoice fellow PS5-users, we're finally getting Baldur's Gate 3! After a very long month of listening to PC-users praise the game, we will get to play it ourselves in September. If you have the Digital Deluxe Edition you can play BG3 on PS5 from Saturday, September 2, but if you have instead opted to buy the Standard Edition you will need to wait until Wednesday, September 6.
You can find the exact start times for Baldurs Gate 3 Early Access below.
