A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning for players. This fake app, deceptively disguised with modified screenshots and a fabricated 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 developed by "Dmytro Turuk," lacks any mention of Larian Studios, the game's actual developer, or its Dungeons & Dragons origins. This should immediately raise red flags.
Data Theft Concerns:
Beyond the deceptive pricing, the app's terms of service reveal a potential threat: data collection. The app may record users' IP addresses and other personal information. While the app's free initial download might lure unsuspecting players, the subsequent subscription fee and data collection practices highlight its malicious nature. This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 scam app, and likely won't be the last.
Currently, this specific fraudulent app doesn't appear to be on the Google Play Store. However, gamers on both iOS and Android should remain vigilant. If an app offering a mobile port of Baldur's Gate 3 seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is. Larian Studios has yet to announce plans for an official mobile port, although earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile platforms. Baldur's Gate 3 is also accessible via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Anyone who has downloaded the fraudulent app should delete it immediately to mitigate potential risks. Always verify the developer's identity and check for reviews before downloading any app, especially those promising popular game ports.
