Mobile Port for Baldur's Gate 3 Emerges on App Store

A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning for 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, there is no official mobile version of Baldur's Gate 3.

The fake app, titled "Baldurs Gate 3 - Mobile Turuk" and developed by "Dmytro Turuk," lacks any mention of Larian Studios or the Dungeons & Dragons franchise, raising immediate red flags. While visually convincing to some, the lack of these key details should serve as a warning sign.

Data Theft Concerns:

Beyond the deceptive pricing, the app's terms of service reveal a potential for data harvesting, including IP addresses and possibly other user information. This highlights the significant risk associated with downloading and using this fraudulent application. This isn't an isolated incident; similar Baldur's Gate 3 rip-offs have appeared on app stores before.

Official Information:

Currently, no legitimate Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port exists. Larian Studios has not announced any plans for a mobile release. However, earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile platforms, and Baldur's Gate 3 can be streamed via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Actionable Advice:

Users who have downloaded the fraudulent app should delete it immediately. Players should always exercise caution when downloading apps, especially those promising seemingly unrealistic access to popular games. Verify developer information and check for official announcements before installing any game app.
