Tips on How to Transition From Early Access to the Full Release Version in Baldur's Gate 3

Larian Studios shared a quick instruction on their Twitter explaining how to smoothly transition from the Early Access version of the game to the full release, which will be available on August 3. To do this, follow these simple steps:

• Launch the game, and delete all save files to avoid unintended conflicts at launch.
• Remove any mods and ensure they do not automatically re-download.
• Uninstall the game client 

Larian noted that these actions will help avoid unforeseen errors related to save files and the downloading of the client for the full-release version of the game. The studio also reminded again that the Baldur's Gate 3 client, with a size of approximately 122 GB, will need to be downloaded again and will not be provided as an update for the early access version.

On August 2, Larian plans to publish a separate article dedicated to the installation and launch of Baldur's Gate 3. The team will likely share additional tips in that article. 

Previously, Larian shared that owners of the game will not be able to preload Baldur's Gate 3 so you'll have to wait until August 3rd at 5 pm Gent time (the studio's time zone). Preloading is not available for all Early Access games on Steam, and Baldur's Gate 3 will not become an exception. Learn more here.
