How co-op works
Up to four online players control members of one campaign party; two can also use local split-screen. They may combine forces in turn-based combat or split up for separate quests, while dialogue choices, shared information, and Inspiration shape the same world state.
About this game
Baldur's Gate 3 brings the depth of tabletop Dungeons & Dragons to a sweeping party-based RPG. You and up to three other players create characters, navigate branching story paths, and roll dice to determine the outcome of dialogue, combat, and exploration. Every choice carries weight, from who you trust to how you handle the parasite threatening your mind. The campaign supports both solo and online co-op play, letting friends share the journey or tackle it alone.

Combat blends turn-based tactics with environmental creativity. Position matters, spells interact with the terrain, and coordinating abilities with your party can turn the tide of nearly impossible fights. Outside battle, expect lengthy conversations, moral dilemmas, and secrets hidden in every corner of the world.
Online co-op and LAN play let you experience the full campaign together, with cross-platform support bridging Windows and Mac. Sessions demand constant communication as players vote on story decisions, plan combat tactics, and manage a shared inventory. It is designed for groups ready to commit to a long, dialogue-heavy adventure where every roll and choice shapes the narrative.
