Attention all Baldur's Gate 3 enthusiasts: a scam claiming to be a mobile version of the game has surfaced on the iOS App Store. It's crucial to know that Baldur's Gate 3 does not have an official mobile port, so steer clear of any apps claiming to be the real deal.
Baldur's Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios, has been hailed as a landmark RPG, captivating players with its expansive world, intricate storytelling, and the depth of its gameplay. While Larian has confirmed they won't be working on Baldur's Gate 4, fans continue to immerse themselves in the rich experience offered by the third installment. Despite hopes for a mobile version, a recent discovery on the App Store is a scam, not the genuine article fans are looking for.
VideoGamer has uncovered a fraudulent app on the iOS App Store that masquerades as a Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port. At first glance, the app seems convincing, using altered screenshots from the game with a fabricated mobile interface. However, closer inspection reveals red flags, such as no references to the game's Dungeons and Dragons origins or any mention of Larian Studios. Instead, the app is titled "Baldurs [sic] Gate 3 - Mobile Turuk," with "Dmytro Turuk" listed as the developer.
Baldur's Gate 3 Scam May Steal Data
While the app's appearance may not deceive most players, its free download might lure in those eager to try a mobile version of the game. The promise of playing Baldur's Gate 3 on a mobile device could be tempting, especially for those who believe they can uninstall it if it proves to be fake. However, upon launching the app, users are prompted to subscribe for a steep $29.99 monthly fee. By this point, many will recognize the scam, but the damage might already be done, as the app's terms of service suggest it collects the user's IP address and possibly other personal data. This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 imitation on app stores and likely won't be the last.
Currently, there's no similar app on the Android store, but gamers on both platforms should be wary of deals that seem too good to be true. Larian Studios has not announced any plans for a mobile port of Baldur's Gate 3. For those interested in mobile gaming within the franchise, earlier titles like Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 are available. Additionally, Baldur's Gate 3 can be streamed through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If you've downloaded the so-called Baldur's Gate 3 mobile app, it's advisable to uninstall it immediately to protect your data.
