A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning for players. This fake app, deceptively disguised with modified screenshots and a fabricated mobile HUD, is free initially but demands a hefty $29.99 monthly subscription fee. Crucially, there is no official mobile version of Baldur's Gate 3.
The app, titled "Baldurs [sic] Gate 3 - Mobile Turuk" and attributed to developer "Dmytro Turuk," lacks any mention of Larian Studios or the game's Dungeons & Dragons origins—red flags indicating its illegitimate nature. While visually convincing to some, the absence of these key details should raise immediate suspicion.
Data Theft Concerns:
Beyond the deceptive pricing, the app's terms of service reveal a concerning data collection policy, potentially logging user IP addresses and other personal information. This underscores the importance of caution when downloading seemingly free games.
No Official Mobile Port:
Larian Studios has not announced any plans for a Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port. While earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile, players should be wary of any apps claiming to offer the third installment. Alternatively, Baldur's Gate 3 is accessible via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate streaming.
Actionable Advice:
Users who have downloaded the fraudulent app should immediately uninstall it to mitigate potential data breaches. Remember, if a deal seems too good to be true, it likely is. Always verify the developer's information and check for official announcements before downloading any game.
