Baldur’s Gate 3 Raises System Requirements for Launch Version to Reflect Realities of Gameplay Experience
Baldur’s Gate 3, an upcoming role-playing game, has raised its minimum and recommended system requirements ahead of its launch on August 31. According to Larian Studios, the game’s graphical fidelity and complexity have significantly improved during its early access phase, which is why the minimum requirement has been changed to better reflect the game’s launch version. While the change in minimum requirement is relatively minor, the recommended specification has been comprehensively revised. The game may still be playable on machines below the new minimum requirement, but this may compromise the player experience.
Shifting Hardware Requirements during Early Access:
Baldur’s Gate 3 has been in development for nearly four years and is now ready for full release. However, the changes in hardware requirements may frustrate some players who had initially met the old minimum requirement. The change in requirements is typical of the early access process, where developers release a game in a half-finished state and work on it for another year or two before it is fully launched. During this period, things change, and the originally anticipated hardware standard may no longer suffice.
JK Simmons as General Ketheric Thorn:
Larian Studios announced yesterday that JK Simmons would feature in Baldur’s Gate 3 as General Ketheric Thorn, leading an army of the dead toward the city of Baldur’s Gate. Simmons is known for his voiceover work as Cave Johnson in Portal 2 and a Dota 2 announcer pack, among others. The game requires Windows 10 64-bit and DirectX 11 to play, regardless of your hardware.
