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 to players. This fake app, deceptively presented with modified screenshots and a false mobile HUD, is free initially but demands a hefty $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 clear indicator of its illegitimate nature.

Data Theft Concerns:

Beyond the financial scam, the app's terms of service reveal a concerning potential for data harvesting. It explicitly states that the app collects user IP addresses and potentially other personal information. This underscores the importance of immediate uninstallation for anyone who has already downloaded the app.

No Official Mobile Port:

Larian Studios has not announced any plans for a Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port. While previous Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile, and Baldur's Gate 3 is accessible via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate streaming, players should remain vigilant against such deceptive applications. The appearance of this fraudulent app highlights the ongoing challenge of combating app store scams. Users on both iOS and Android platforms are advised to exercise caution and avoid apps that seem too good to be true. If you've downloaded the fake app, delete it immediately.
