Baldur’s Gate 3 sales estimated to be around 15 million copies

Baldur’s Gate 3 being a massive success in all metrics is hardly anything new to anyone in the games industry, but Larian Studios has been surprisingly coy about details such as how many units of the game have been sold. The Irish Independent, however, now reported that around 15 million copies of Baldur’s Gate 3 have been sold in total so far.

According to the newspaper, the company posted a pre-tax profit of €249 million EUR, which is around $261 million USD, for 2023. As a result, the company was able to pay out a dividend of €28m (around $29m) this year. Previously, our most detailed information on Baldur’s Gate 3’s sales came from Larian’s Michael Dous
