While a little exercise is good for the body, running back and forth between party members to dismiss them can be tiring - so you’ll now be able to dismiss a recruited companion from your party while speaking to the companion you want to replace them with!

Some PS5 players are experiencing sudden Baldur’s Gate 3 crashes in what appears to be a PSN-related issue.
We’re investigating the problem, but for now, the workaround is to disconnect your PS5 from the internet.

If you purchase Baldur’s Gate 3 on PC before August 3, you’ll get a free upgrade to the Digital Deluxe Edition featuring these extras at no extra cost!
Purchase Now:
Unfortunately we’re unable to make Baldur’s Gate 3 available for pre-load — Steam doesn’t support pre-load for Early Access titles because switching to pre-load would break the game for people currently playing Early Access.
📢PSA: Full post tomorrow, but for Baldur's Gate 3 players with existing Early Access saves, we ask that prior to August 3, launch the game, and delete all save files to avoid unintended conflicts at launch. Also, remove any mods and ensure they do not automatically re-download.
Patch 5 is launching soon! This update will clock in at roughly 30GB and will require approximately 130GB of free space to install. If you find yourself without the space to install the update, we recommend uninstalling BG3 and then re-downloading the patched version.
