Baldur’s Gate 3 features one pre-order incentive: Early Access. If you’re on PC and purchased the game, you’ve been able to enjoy early gameplay access since October 2022. Unfortunately, no bonuses are available for the Standard Edition of the game; this edition costs $59.99 on PC and $69.99 for PlayStation 5. Conversely, the Digital Deluxe Edition offers additional rewards.

PlayStation users can pre-order the Digital Deluxe Edition to receive Early Access 72 hours before launch. So, PlayStation 5 users who pre-order the special edition can play Act I of the game on September 3, 2023, as the game launches for the console on September 6, 2023.

For PC pre-orders, players are provided an extra incentive for playing Early Access of Baldur’s Gate 3. It comes with an automatic upgrade to the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game once it launches for PC on August 3, 2023.
