Fake Baldur’s Gate 3 Mobile Port Appears on App Store

A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning for players. 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 attributed to developer "Dmytro Turuk," lacks any mention of Larian Studios, the game's actual developer, or its Dungeons & Dragons origins. This lack of authenticity should be a significant red flag.

Data Theft Concerns:

While the deceptive nature of the app might be apparent to some, the free initial download could lure unsuspecting users. The subscription fee is the ultimate giveaway, but before reaching that point, the app's terms of service reveal a concerning data collection policy, potentially logging user IP addresses and other personal information. This isn't an isolated incident; similar Baldur's Gate 3 scams have appeared before.

Currently, this fraudulent app doesn't seem to be present on the Google Play Store. However, gamers on both iOS and Android should remain vigilant. If an offer appears 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 fake Baldur's Gate 3 app are strongly advised to uninstall it immediately to mitigate potential data breaches.
