Fake Baldur’s Gate 3 Mobile Port Appears on App Store

Feb 06,25

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 steep $29.99 monthly subscription fee. Crucially, there is no official mobile version of Baldur's Gate 3.

The scam app, titled "Baldurs Gate 3 - Mobile Turuk" and attributed to developer "Dmytro Turuk," lacks any mention of Larian Studios or the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. This omission should immediately raise red flags.

Data Theft Concerns:

Beyond the deceptive pricing, the app's terms of service reveal a concerning data collection policy, potentially logging user IP addresses and other personal information. While many may recognize the app's illegitimacy, the initial free download could lure unsuspecting players before the subscription fee is revealed. This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 imitation appearing on app stores.

Official Alternatives:

Currently, no legitimate Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port exists. However, earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile platforms. Furthermore, Baldur's Gate 3 is accessible via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for streaming. Users who downloaded the fraudulent app should delete it immediately. Always exercise caution when encountering seemingly too-good-to-be-true app offers. Verify developer information and check for official announcements before downloading any game.
