Baldur’s Gate 3
On the Baldur's Gate 3 Steam page, it is indicated that at the time of writing the news, the game had received 500,489 reviews on Steam, of which 96% were positive. It is worth noting that Steam only takes into account reviews of users who bought the game directly on Steam when calculating. Reviews of those who purchased the key on a third-party site are not included in the rating. If we take them into account, the number of reviews of Baldur's Gate 3 will be greater — according to Steam250 portal estimates, there are 560,710 of them.
"Thank you all! Half a million is a really big number. I would like to gather all of you in one place, shake your hands and talk to you about the adventures you've had. But in the absence of such an opportunity, reading reviews is a pleasure," wrote Larian Studios CEO Sven Vincke in X.
