Can I play Baldur’s Gate 3 on my pc? Minimum and recommended requirements

Itching for an adventure but don’t know if your PC can handle it? Here are the Baldur’s Gate 3 system requirements.

Update:
Baldur's Gate 3

Larian Studios’ long-awaited Baldur’s Gate 3 is almost here, and arguably the best way you can play it is on a PC. After all, we are talking about a sequel to the classic cRPGs of the late 90s and early 2000′s, which while it does a lot of modernization still keeps its complex roots intact. But how do you know if you have a decent enough computer to enjoy it?

Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t the most demanding game there is right now, at least not in terms of processing and graphics power, but it will require you to have quite a bit of storage space available. Of course, your experience may vary depending on what kind of hardware you’ve got, but there is no need for you to have the latest and most powerful (and expensive) cards there are. However, you could go ahead and use both AMD FSR and Nvidia DLSS to upscale your game and boost your FPS without much effort if you do have access to these new features.

Below you’ll find everything that you’ll need to run Baldur’s Gate 3, both the minimum and recommended specs. If you take a look at them you’ll see that they can be quite different, with a large gap of functionality between the two tiers. However, even the Recommended specs are not as high as other recent titles that have released in 2023.
