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 gamers. This deceptive app, disguised with altered screenshots and a fake mobile interface, lacks any mention of the game's Dungeons & Dragons origins or developer Larian Studios. Instead, it's listed as "Baldurs Gate 3 - Mobile Turuk" by developer "Dmytro Turuk."

While initially free, the app demands a hefty $29.99 monthly subscription fee after download. Furthermore, its terms of service raise concerns about potential data harvesting, including IP addresses and other user information. This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 scam app; similar fraudulent apps may appear in the future.

Currently, no official Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port exists. Larian Studios has not announced plans for a mobile release. However, earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile platforms, and Baldur's Gate 3 can be streamed via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Key Takeaways:

• Beware of scams: A fake Baldur's Gate 3 mobile app is circulating on the iOS App Store. Verify developer information before downloading.
• No official mobile port: Larian Studios has not released, nor announced plans for, a mobile version of Baldur's Gate 3.
• Subscription trap: The scam app is free initially but requires a costly monthly subscription.
• Potential data theft: The app's terms of service suggest potential data collection.
• Immediate action: Users who downloaded the fraudulent app should uninstall it immediately.

This situation highlights the importance of caution when downloading apps, especially those promising popular game ports. If an offer seems too good to be true, it likely is.
