Baldur’s Gate 3 has officially launched on PC as of 10am CT on Aug. 3, marking the release of one of the mostly highly anticipated RPGs in years after a lengthy early access period, but you can always go above and beyond with the Digital Deluxe Edition.
While the thousands of early access players were forced to say goodbye to their characters before the full launch, Larian Studios sought to soften the blow by promising a free upgrade to the Digital Deluxe Edition for any player that purchased Baldur’s Gate 3 before the Aug. 3 launch.
If you’re looking to make sure the Digital Deluxe Edition content is included before you start your massive installation, or if you’re trying to buy the upgraded version after launch, then you’ve arrived in the right place.
How to upgrade to Baldur’s Gate 3 Digital Deluxe Edition
If you purchased Baldur’s Gate 3 before its Aug. 3 launch, then you should have the Digital Deluxe Edition already. You can confirm that you have it and that it will be included in your installation before you start:
- On Steam or GOG, go to the Baldur’s Gate 3 listing in your Library. The Digital Deluxe upgrade should be in the DLC window. Click “Manage” and confirm that the Digital Deluxe upgrade is checked and included before upgrading.
