The title is ranked at No.9 at the time of writing, and knocked Apex Legends out of Steam's concurrent player charts. With 814,666 users as its current peak concurrent players count, it's closing in on Hogwarts Legacy and its 879,308 CCU.
Baldur's Gate 3 reached 500,000 concurrent players within 24 hours of launching, PC Gamer further reported, with Larian CEO Swen Vincke saying that the team had expected around 100,000 players max.

Broke records for the 2nd weekend in a row. Now in a dead heat right behind hogwarts.

Impressive. I wonder whether word of mouth is going to make this a big success on playstation? CRPGs less of a market, but I played DOS1&2 coop on PS with a friend and was substantially better than trying POE on PS. I for one can't stop playing it so far, just reached Act 3 last night, but must say performance takes a massive hit with all the NPCs.

Set a new peak today at 875k. Might grow by the week with how loaded with content and options and the time sink that it is and might just keep piling on as word of mouth spreads…
