Baldur's Gate 3, released in 2023, is nominated for Best Community Support at The Game Awards 2025. Despite its earlier release, Larian Studios and the game's community have maintained engagement through substantial updates.
Community and Update Highlights
BG3 faces competition from Final Fantasy 14, Fortnite, Helldivers 2, and No Man's Sky for this award. Larian's community efforts stand out, evidenced by an April update and a September patch that enhanced performance through improved framerate and load times. This additional work was notably advanced by a developer dedicating personal time to the project.
Recognition and Reaction
Having swept major awards in 2023 and 2024, including BAFTAs, Larian's nomination is met with gratitude and humor by the official accounts. Swen Vincke, the studio head, previously expressed a desire for 'closure' amidst continuous accolades. The Game Awards ceremony is set for 2025-12-11, where voting remains open.
