It’s a big day in the world of gaming. While the release ofStarfieldmay be dominating headlines, today also seesBaldur’s Gate 3release on PlayStation 5 - and it’s garnered an incredible review score.

Baldur’s Gate 3is a surefire GOTY contender. If you didn’t know, the game was released on PC a few weeks ago. One speedrunner has already managed tobeat it in less than five minutes. Yes, you heard me right - five minutes. Yesterday, developers uncovered a bug that unintentionally made romanceable charactersway hornier than intended. I’m sure players didn’t mind though as we’ve been seeing all kinds of weird sex scenes crop up online, including one with a bear and one with a Mind Flayer. It’s a game that is equal parts weird and wonderful - and now PlayStation 5 users can join in the fun.

JeuxVideo rated the game a score of 95,writing, “Baldur’s Gate 3on PlayStation 5 has nothing to envy withBaldur’s Gate 3on PC. Larian Studios didn’t sacrifice its RPG to run it on Sony’s console. This role-playing game retains all of the content of the PC version (even local cooperation via split screen) and offers an optimal controller experience. The few faults ofBG3are still present (in particular the ‘pad’ interface), but for the rest, it is flawless.”

Baldur’s Gate 3will launch on Xbox too later this year.
