Baldur's Gate 3 Faces Mobile Port Deception

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 false mobile HUD overlay, 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 attributed to developer "Dmytro Turuk," lacks any mention of Larian Studios or the Dungeons & Dragons franchise, raising immediate red flags. While visually convincing to some, the lack of these key details should be a major warning sign.

Data Theft Concerns:

Beyond the financial scam, the app's terms of service reveal a concerning potential for data collection, including the user's IP address and other unspecified information. This underscores the serious risks associated with downloading and using this unauthorized application. This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 imitation appearing on app stores, highlighting the ongoing need for vigilance.

Currently, no similar fraudulent apps have been identified on the Google Play Store. However, gamers on both iOS and Android platforms should exercise caution. If an offer seems too good to be true, it likely is. Larian Studios has not announced any plans for a mobile port of Baldur's Gate 3. However, previous Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile, and Baldur's Gate 3 can be streamed via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Users who have downloaded the counterfeit Baldur's Gate 3 app should remove it immediately to mitigate potential data breaches and financial losses. Always verify the authenticity of apps by checking developer information and reviews before installing.
