While some of our EU and Oceania PS5 friends have begun unboxing their console Deluxe Editions, we are still at the mercy of production issues for those waiting on their North America PS5 and Xbox copies.
Although we were hopeful there would be no more delays, we share your frustration in waiting to receive your copies. We are working closely with our partners to ensure those who have pre-ordered PS5 US version should begin to see their copies shipped later this month, and Xbox versions within the next two weeks.
Though out of our control, we remain in constant communication with our partners to ensure they hit your doorstop as soon as possible.
Why not give out digital codes to those still waiting to play? Unlike PC versions, both PS5 and Xbox versions are full disc games, and sold as a physical edition, which means we are unable to substitute these pre-orders with digital downloads.
What has made this take so long? Changes in the scope and manufacturing of the physical copies on console meant that the production process needed to be revisited, causing a delay in shipping.
Thank you for supporting Baldur’s Gate 3, for supporting us.
We’re disappointed it has taken longer than the initial expected timeframe we had, which was offered to you ahead of preordering. We hope not to have to update you with any further news of delay, and you should receive an email once your copy has shipped.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please email merch-support@larian.com.
