We'll be back now tomorrow for the next one of the week, so until then, hope you enjoy the rest of your Tuesday, and we'll see you all on the other side. But yeah, that's all the time we have on today's episode of GRTV News. But otherwise, the key thing to take from it is that Baldur's Gate 3, well, 2023 was the year of Baldur's Gate 3, shall we say. We'll be sure to keep you posted and updated. So if that information ever comes out, it's all on Larian really to make that official. " It wouldn't surprise me to say that Baldur's Gate 3 earned over a billion dollars last year, but again, we don't have the full information in regards to console sales and any of the platforms on PC that the game ended up making its debut. Getting close to, well, just over two thirds of a billion dollars on Steam alone, and as well when you think about it, that Baldur's Gate 3 also launched on Xbox Series consoles and on PS5, with PS5 as well getting a launch only a month after the PC launch, meaning there's probably a very big chance that the PS5 version drew in quite a lot of sales for Larian as well." And again, this was only on Steam we're talking about here. And on top of that, the game was a massive success in a revenue sense. " So yeah, Baldur's Gate 3 is an interesting one because not only was it a sensation among critics and fans in sort of a critical sense, people really love this game and it doesn't matter who you're talking to, everyone had so many great things to talk about and to say about this title. Looking ahead to 2024, we also get a glimpse of what the Steam community are regarding as their most anticipated titles, with Enshrouded leading the pack and Unrecalled, Darker and Darker, The First Descendant, Dragon's Dogma 2, Hades 2 and more making up this list." Sons of the Forest lands fifth at $116 million, Armored Corps Six Fires of Rubicon is sixth with $87 million, EA Sports FC 24 comes seventh at $81 million, Star Wars Jedi Survivor is eighth at $68 million, then comes the indie sensation of Lethal Company in ninth at $52 million, before Cities Skylines 2 in tenth at $50 million. So yeah, BG3 nearly took down all three of them. So Resident Evil 4, this is the fourth game, clocked in at $159 million, which when you add it to the Hogwarts Legacy and the Starfield revenue, it equates to just shy of $700 million. otherwise the report does also show the top 10 games in a revenue sense and while many are quite expected, there are some surprises among the list. The report notes that BG3 managed to rake in. And the really interesting thing is that it nearly generated more money than the fourth game as well when you combine them all together. This means that BG3 generated more revenue in 2023 than Hogwarts Legacy and Starfield Combined last year. For a point of comparison, Hogwarts Legacy was the second biggest game of the year in this metric and it managed to hit a peak of $341 million, with Starfield coming in third at $235 million. The report notes that BG3 managed to rake in $657 million in revenue in 2023. " While the extent of how much money BG3 has already generated is unclear, a recent report from Video Game Insights, specifically the company's Global PC Market report for 2024, we've been given an idea of just how well BG3 did on Steam. Aside from landing all manner of awards, Larian's RPG has been a revenue behemoth too, accounting for piles and piles of cash for the developer." 2023 really was the year of Baldur's Gate 3. Larian's RPG really was an absolute titan. " Baldur's Gate 3 earned more money on Steam in 2023 than Hogwarts Legacy and Starfield Combined. So let's dive on in and take a look at this information." So on top of having a very very impressive year in a critical sense, in an award sense, the game also raked in piles and piles of cash for Larian. So surprisingly, or unsurprisingly rather, there's one game that leaves the pack and that is of course Baldur's Gate 3. So not in units sold, nothing like that, but in how much money it's generated beyond actual sales. Because a new report has gone out and has given us a glimpse at the top games in 2023 in a revenue sense. Today we're going to be talking about something, well basically we're going to be talking about last year in review. " Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of GRTV news.
