Baldur's Gate 3 Mobile Release Surfaces

A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning to players. This fake app, deceptively presented with modified screenshots and a false 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 scam app, titled "Baldurs Gate 3 - Mobile Turuk" and attributed to developer "Dmytro Turuk," lacks any mention of Larian Studios or the Dungeons & Dragons franchise, raising immediate red flags. While visually convincing to some, the lack of these key details should be a significant warning sign.

Data Theft Concerns:

Beyond the financial scam, the app's terms of service reveal a concerning potential for data harvesting. The app may record user IP addresses and potentially other personal information. This highlights the serious risks associated with downloading and using unofficial applications.

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, and Baldur's Gate 3 is playable via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, this fraudulent app should be avoided at all costs.

Actionable Advice:

Users who have downloaded the fraudulent app should immediately uninstall it. Gamers on both iOS and Android platforms are urged to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of any app before downloading, particularly those claiming to be ports of popular games without official confirmation from the developers. Remember, if an offer seems too good to be true, it likely is.
