As gamers eagerly await the launch of the PlayStation 5, many have high expectations for the wealth of titles planned for the new console’s launch window. One of these titles is Baldur’s Gate 3, the long-awaited sequel to the beloved PC RPG from 1998.
In recent weeks, Larian Studios, the game’s developer, has been hard at work patching the PC version of the game, and PlayStation 5 players will benefit from the fixes. While the game released to mostly positive reviews, many have noted technical hiccups and other issues that can often impede the gaming experience.
Fortunately, the development team appears to be taking feedback from its fans seriously, and the fixes are now flowing in. Technical issues, such as optimization, input lag, and loading time reduction have all received attention, making the experience smoother across the board. This is especially beneficial for console players, as the technical distinctions between gaming computers and consoles can often cause a gap in a game’s experience.
For example, one of the fixes that Larian Studios has implemented in the PC version is the ability to use controllers, including the PlayStation controller, to play the game. This is something for which console players have been asking since the game’s launch. The development team has integrated this ability into the game’s PC version, and it is expected to carry over to the PlayStation 5 version as well.
In general, the fixes should make the game more enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their platform of choice. While the PlayStation 5 version is still yet to be released, the team is hard at work to ensure that the experience on the console is as good as it is on PC. Thanks to the fixes and tweaks being applied to the PC version, PlayStation 5 players can look forward to a stellar experience when Baldur’s Gate 3 finally comes to the console.
