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 deceptive app, disguised with modified screenshots and a fake 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 developed by "Dmytro Turuk," lacks any mention of Larian Studios or the Dungeons & Dragons franchise, raising immediate red flags. While visually convincing to some, the absence of these key details should serve as a clear warning sign.

Data Theft Concerns:

Beyond the subscription scam, the app's terms of service reveal a potential threat: data collection. The app may record users' IP addresses and potentially other personal information. This underscores the importance of caution when downloading seemingly legitimate apps.

This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 imitation on app stores, highlighting the ongoing need for vigilance. Currently, no similar fraudulent apps have been reported on the Android platform, but gamers on both iOS and Android should exercise caution. If an offer seems too good to be true, it likely is.

Larian Studios has not announced plans for a Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port. However, previous Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile platforms, and Baldur's Gate 3 can be accessed via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Anyone who has downloaded the fraudulent app should immediately uninstall it to mitigate potential risks.
