Seam had a lot to handle when Baldur’s Gate 3 finally launched on early access this week, causing issues in purchasing the game.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Launch on Early Access Briefly Broke Steam
Baldur’s Gate 3has been long await by fans, and it finally came to Steam early access this week, with so much interest it briefly caused Steam to have issues. Those who tried to purchase the game upon launch were met with error messages or “attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours” according to PCGamesn.
While it isn’t 100% certain that the issue alone was just due to the Baldur’s Game 3 EA launch, but over on Steamstat.us, it shows a couple of dips in connections over the 24 hour period including when BG3 went live.
It appears we broke steam. Thank you!
