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 simulated mobile interface, 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 deceptive 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 should immediately raise red flags.
Data Theft Concerns:
Beyond the financial scam, the app's terms of service reveal potential data harvesting, including IP addresses and possibly other user information. While the app's visual deception might be obvious to some, the free initial download could lure unsuspecting players.
No Official Mobile Port:
Larian Studios has not announced any plans for a Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port. While earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile, and Baldur's Gate 3 is accessible via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate streaming, this fraudulent app should be avoided. Android users should also remain vigilant against similar scams.
Actionable Advice:
Users who have downloaded the fraudulent app should delete it immediately. Remember, if an app seems too good to be true, it probably is. Always verify the developer's legitimacy before installing any game, particularly high-profile titles like Baldur's Gate 3.
