Baldur’s Gate 3’s launch on PlayStation 5 will be equally grand as Steam. A source confirmed that if players pre-order the Deluxe Edition of Baldur’s Gate 3 on PlayStation 5 for $79.99, they can pre-install the game. This pre-load will start on the 31st of August at 16.00 UTC. This will be 9.00 AM Pacific Time for buyers in the United States. The pre-load option will offer players to directly experience the game after its release and avoid the installation process. Furthermore, Deluxe Digital edition buyers will get early access to Baldur’s Gate 3 on the 2nd of September. 

However, Standard Edition buyers of Baldur’s Gate 3 won’t have this pre-loading opportunity on the 31st of August. However, they need not worry about it, as Larian announced a pre-loading opportunity for standard edition buyers. This will begin from the 4th of September. Although this opportunity of pre-loading will be given just two days before, still it will definitely reduce the hassle of installation on the day of launch.
