IfBaldur’s Gate 3isn’t the best RPG ever, it’s definitely one of the most loved. The game has been a sales hit since its release on July 08, 2025, and actually even before that.
What made so many players fall in love withBG3wasn’t just the freedom to build characters and shape the story but its complete lack of microtransactions. You pay once, and that’s it—no subscriptions, no extra purchases, just a full single-player RPG packed with content.
Now, ahead ofBG3’sPatch 8, whichwill bring 12 new subclassesand even more free content, the game has hit an impressive milestone on Steam’s charts.
Baldur’s Gate 3 has completed two years as a Steam global top seller
As of March 19,Baldur’s Gate 3has officially been inSteam’s Global Top Sellerslist for 104 weeks, adding up to two years and a longer time than its complete version’s existence.
That means it has remained one of Steam’s top 100 games in revenue since before its actual release, thanks to its strong early access sales. It’s an incredible achievement for a game that isn’t a free-to-play multiplayer title with fast-paced gameplay likeCounter-Strike 2orApex Legends, which have been on the charts for even longer. This just proves howBaldur’s Gate 3continues to attract new players, even after such a long time.
The Steam charts rank games by revenue, not just by the number of copies sold. That meansBaldur’s Gate 3is competing directly with free-to-play games likeWarframeandOverwatch 2, which make most of their money through microtransactions.
Yet, despiteBG3having no premium currency, skins, or extra paid content, it’s still getting close in revenue to them. The only extra purchase available for the game is the Deluxe Edition upgrade, making its continued success even more impressive.
A new BG3 update could spike sales further
BG3Patch 8 will add even more depth to the game by introducing 12 new subclasses, allowing players to explore different character builds and choices they may have missed before. It will bring more complexity to team building and strategy, giving players 12 more options to shape their playthroughs.
With a late March or early April release expected for the free update, even players who were hesitant to buyBG3before might finally jump in, making the game’s success streak on Steam even longer.
