A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning to players. This fake app, deceptively presented with modified screenshots and a fabricated 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 app, titled "Baldurs Gate 3 - Mobile Turuk" and developed by "Dmytro Turuk," lacks any mention of Larian Studios, the game's actual developer, or its Dungeons & Dragons origins—red flags indicating its illegitimate nature.
Data Theft Concerns:
While visually obvious to many, the app's free initial download may lure unsuspecting players. Its terms of service reveal a concerning data collection policy, including the recording of user IP addresses and potentially other personal information. This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 scam app, highlighting the ongoing risk.
Currently, this specific fraudulent app hasn't been identified on the Android store, but vigilance is advised on both platforms. If an offer seems too good to be true, it likely is. Larian Studios hasn't announced any mobile port plans for Baldur's Gate 3, although earlier series installments are available on mobile. Alternatively, Baldur's Gate 3 can be streamed via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Anyone who downloaded the fake app should immediately uninstall it. Always verify developer information before installing any app, especially those claiming to be ports of popular games.
