A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning to players. This deceptive app, disguised with modified screenshots and a fake mobile HUD, is free initially but demands a steep $29.99 monthly subscription fee. Crucially, it lacks any mention of Larian Studios, the game's actual developer, or its Dungeons & Dragons origins, instead listing itself as "Baldurs Gate 3 - Mobile Turuk" by developer "Dmytro Turuk."
Key Warning Signs:
- Lack of Official Confirmation: No official mobile port of Baldur's Gate 3 exists.
- Suspicious Developer Information: The app's developer information is inconsistent with Larian Studios.
- Hidden Subscription Cost: The app is free initially, but a hefty monthly fee is revealed upon launch.
- Potential Data Collection: The app's terms of service suggest potential collection of user data, including IP addresses.
This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 scam app, highlighting the need for caution. While currently absent from the Android store, gamers on both platforms should remain vigilant. If an app seems too good to be true, it likely is. Larian Studios has not announced any mobile port plans, though earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile. Baldur's Gate 3 is also accessible via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Anyone who downloaded the fraudulent app should delete it immediately.
