Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the biggest titles in the world. Since its release in 2023, the huge fanbase the game has amassed speaks volumes for the MMORPG title.
Despite the abundance of some huge titles like Starfield, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Diablo 4, and many more, the game bagged the Game of the Year award. Now, as the game approaches its first anniversary, the developing studio has revealed some of the crazy stats from its players.
Larian Studios Reveal Freaking Stats about Baldur’s Gate 3 Players
Recently, the official Twitter handle of Baldur’s Gate 3 shared a thread where some of the crazy statistics about the title were revealed. These stats are based on the plays from players around the world in the last year since its launch.
It’s been a year since Baldur’s Gate 3 was released, and you know what we’ve realised?

Over a quarter of you can’t be trusted to not pick a fight with a djinni, and a surprising amount of you enjoy bear sex and tentacles.

In the last year, 1.9 million players were turned into a cheese wheel, while 3.5 million players paid a visit to some friendly dinosaurs. On the other hand, 2 million players freed Us from the Colony and at least 377,000 Drake Urges figured out a way to spare Alfira and are now directly to blame for the proliferation of lute rock.
Talking about the honor mode, a total of 141,660 players completed it, whereas 1.2 million players failed to do so. When it comes to origin character avatars, Astarion takes the first spot, as this avatar has been picked by 93% of the total players, followed by Gale and Shadowheart.
One of the prime reasons for the game’s huge galore is because of the innumerable possibilities of ending the game the way you like. Since the game’s launch, 1.8 million players ended the game by betraying the Emperor. On the other hand, 329,000 players convinced Orpheus to live as a mind flayer.
Not only that, 3.3 million players killed the Netherbrain to conclude the game, where 200,000 of those had Gale blow himself up to do it. Only 34 people who chose to play as Avatar Lae’zel decided to kill themselves to kill the game as Vlaakith rejected their ascension.
What’s New for Baldur’s Gate 3 Fans Then?
Recently, Larian opened a YouTube channel to celebrate the first birthday of its most successful project. The name of the channel is ‘Channel From Hell’ where ‘community focused’ and ‘never seen videos’ will be showcased.
We will never stop being grateful for how you made Baldur’s Gate 3 so much more than we ever imagined it could be.

The channel got its first video where studio CEO Swen Vincke addressed all the fans for their constant support throughout this one year.
In this video, some of the words from Vincke sparked serious speculations regarding the next project of Larian:
You have no idea how much energy developers like us take from feedback like yours. We are going to take all that energy and convert it into something new, something shiny, something big. It’s going to take a little bit of time, but by the time it’s finished, I think you’ll like it.
That means something huge is cooking in the developing studio of this popular title. Baldur’s Gate 3 has become a staple in the gaming industry; the recent stats are a testament to that.
