"Fake Baldur’s Gate 3 Mobile Version Hits App Store"

Attention all *Baldur's Gate 3* fans: a scam mobile port of the game has surfaced on the iOS App Store, falsely claiming to be the real deal. It's crucial to note that there is no official mobile port of *Baldur's Gate 3* available, and any app claiming to be one should be avoided at all costs.

*Baldur's Gate 3*, developed by Larian Studios, has been a monumental success, captivating RPG enthusiasts with its expansive world, intricate storytelling, and detailed gameplay. Despite the game's popularity and the community's desire for a mobile version, the recent app store listing is nothing more than a deceptive scam.

As reported by VideoGamer, the fraudulent app, titled "Baldurs [sic] Gate 3 - Mobile Turuk," is developed by "Dmytro Turuk." It uses modified screenshots from the original game with a fake mobile HUD to appear legitimate. However, it lacks any mention of the game's Dungeons and Dragons origins or its true developer, Larian Studios, which is a clear red flag.

Baldur's Gate 3 Scam May Steal Data

The scam app is initially free, which might lure unsuspecting players into downloading it. However, upon launching the app, users are prompted to subscribe for a staggering $29.99 per month to continue playing. At this point, it becomes evident that the app is a fake, but the damage may already be done. The app's terms of service reveal that it records the user's IP address and potentially other personal information, posing a significant privacy risk. This isn't the first instance of a *Baldur's Gate 3* scam on app stores, and it likely won't be the last.

Currently, no similar scam apps have been reported on the Android store, but gamers on all platforms should remain vigilant. If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Larian Studios has not announced any plans for a mobile port of *Baldur's Gate 3*. For those interested in the series, earlier entries like *Baldur's Gate* and *Baldur's Gate 2* are available on mobile. Additionally, *Baldur's Gate 3* can be streamed through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

If you've downloaded the fake *Baldur's Gate 3* mobile app, it's highly recommended to uninstall it immediately to protect your personal data.
