A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning to players. This fake app, deceptively disguised with modified screenshots and a fabricated mobile HUD, is free initially but demands a hefty $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 or the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. This omission should immediately raise red flags.
Data Theft Concerns:
Beyond the deceptive pricing, the app's terms of service reveal a concerning data collection policy, potentially logging user IP addresses and other personal information. While the app's free initial download might entice some, the subsequent subscription cost and data harvesting risks make it a serious threat. This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 imitation appearing on app stores.
No Official Mobile Port:
Larian Studios has not announced any plans for a mobile port of Baldur's Gate 3. While earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile, and Baldur's Gate 3 is playable via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate streaming, players should exercise extreme caution and avoid downloading any unauthorized apps. Anyone who has already downloaded the fraudulent app should delete it immediately. The app does not appear to be currently available on the Google Play Store, but vigilance is advised on both platforms. Remember, if an offer seems too good to be true, it likely is.
