Summary

• Beware of a scam Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port on the iOS App Store claiming to be real. Always check the developer information.
• The fake app is free to download but requires a $29.99/month subscription fee and may record user data.
• No official direct Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port exists.

Fans of Baldur's Gate 3 should be cautious of a scam app on the iOS App Store that falsely claims to be a mobile port of the game. It's important to know that there is no official mobile version of Baldur's Gate 3 available, and players should steer clear of any app claiming otherwise.

Baldur's Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios, marked a triumphant return to the series, becoming one of the most celebrated RPGs in recent years. Although Larian Studios won't be developing Baldur's Gate 4, the community continues to explore the vast world, intricate stories, and detailed gameplay that Baldur's Gate 3 offers. Despite fans' hopes for a mobile version, a recent app store listing is not the genuine article.

VideoGamer recently highlighted a deceptive app on the iOS App Store, masquerading as a Baldur's Gate 3 port. The listing appears convincing at first glance, using modified screenshots from the game with a fabricated mobile HUD. However, closer inspection reveals discrepancies, such as the omission of any reference to the game's Dungeons and Dragons origins or its developer, Larian. The app is misleadingly titled "Baldurs [sic] Gate 3 - Mobile Turuk," credited to developer "Dmytro Turuk."

Baldur's Gate 3 Scam May Steal Data

While the app's appearance may not fool everyone, its free download could lure in curious players. The allure of playing a supposed mobile port of Baldur's Gate 3 might be too tempting to resist, especially if one believes they can simply uninstall it if it's a fake. However, upon launching the app, users are prompted to subscribe at a steep $29.99 monthly fee. By this point, many will recognize the scam, but damage may already be done. The app's terms of service suggest it collects the user's IP address and possibly other data. This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 scam on app stores, and it may not be the last.

Currently, no similar app has been found on the Android store. Nonetheless, gamers on all platforms should be wary that if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Larian Studios has not announced any plans for a mobile port of Baldur's Gate 3, though earlier entries in the series, such as Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2, are available. Additionally, Baldur's Gate 3 can be streamed through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If you've downloaded this fake Baldur's Gate 3 mobile app, it's crucial to uninstall it immediately.
