Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a massive success since it launched on PC, achieving record-breaking player numbers, and becoming the highest-rated PC game of all time just a couple of weeks after its official release.

With the game doing so well, it’s no wonder console non-PC players are eager to dive into Dungeons and Dragons and start creating their builds, meeting companions, and battling monsters.

The PS5 release for Baldur’s Gate 3 is just around the corner now, and if you’re particularly eager to dive into the expansive RPG, you can access the game early.

Without further ado, here’s precisely how you can play Baldur’s Gate 3 early on PS5.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming to PS5 in September.

How to get Baldur’s Gate 3 early access on PS5

To get early access to Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS5, you’ll have to pre-order the game’s Digital Deluxe edition. This version is available for $79.99 / $65.99 and can be downloaded directly from the PlayStation store.

The RPG will be released for PS5 on September 6, 2023, but everyone who purchases the Digital Deluxe edition will get 3 days of early access starting September 3, 2023. During this time, players can play through the entirety of Act 1, and you’ll also receive a couple of pre-order bonuses, including an exclusive Dice Theme and an Adventurer’s Pouch.

If you can’t wait to start your dice-rolling adventure, spending a bit extra money to get 72 hours of additional access is a great option.
