Hereā€™s What You Need to Know About Baldurā€™s Gate 3ā€™s Saves (BG3)

Your Baldurā€™s Gate 3 Early Access saves won’t carry over and the developer is asking you to delete them. But the good news is the full version of the game supports cross-platform cross-saves. So if your PC refuses to run this fantasy RPG, you can take your save over to the PS5.Ā You can also transfer saves between Mac and PC. Essentially, no matter what platform you buy the game on, you’ll be able to transfer your saves to other platforms.Ā 

So whatā€™s the catch? There is one requirement, and thatā€™s that you sign up for a Larian Studios account, which you can do here. You can then log into this on whatever platform and carry your save across. Itā€™s free to register an account so itā€™s not much of a bind.Ā 

So what you need to know about whether Baldurā€™s Gate 3 has cross-platform saves is that it does.Ā
