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 altered 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 be a major warning sign.
Data Theft Concerns:
Beyond the subscription scam, the app's terms of service reveal potential data harvesting, including IP address and possibly other user information. This underscores the serious risks associated with downloading and using unverified applications.
No Official Mobile Port:
Larian Studios has not announced any plans for a Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port. While earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile, this particular fraudulent app should be avoided at all costs. Players who have downloaded it should uninstall immediately.
Safe Alternatives:
For those eager to experience Baldur's Gate 3 on a mobile device, cloud gaming services like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offer streaming capabilities. This allows players to access the full game without downloading a potentially malicious app. Remember, if an app seems too good to be true, it probably is.
