Balder's Gate 3 Imposter App Hits App Store

A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning to gamers. This fake app, deceptively presented with modified screenshots and a false 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:

Beyond the deceptive pricing, the app's terms of service raise serious concerns about data privacy. It explicitly states that user IP addresses and potentially other personal information will be collected. While many will recognize the scam, the initial free download could already have compromised user data. This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 rip-off appearing on app stores.

Actionable Advice:

Currently, this fraudulent app doesn't appear 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 plans for a mobile port of Baldur's Gate 3, although earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile. Cloud gaming services like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also offer access to Baldur's Gate 3. Anyone who downloaded the fake app should immediately uninstall it.
