Baldur's Gate 3 (also known as BG3 and Baldur's Gate III) is a role-playing video game by Larian Studios. It is the third installment in the Baldur's Gate series. The game's full release for Windows happened on August 3, 2023, with PlayStation 5, macOS, and Xbox Series X/S later in the same year. In the game's narrative, the party seeks to cure themselves of the Illithid parasites infecting their brains. It can be played alone or in a group.

Adapted from the fifth edition of tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, Baldur's Gate 3 takes its mechanics and setting, the Forgotten Realms, from the tabletop game. Players create a customizable character and embark on quests with a party of voiced companions. Alternatively, they can play as a companion instead. The gameplay comprises real-time exploration of large areas, turn-based combat, and narrative choices which impact the party and the wider world. Outcomes for combat, dialogue and world interaction are generally determined by rolling a 20-sided die.
