Baldur’s Gate 3The ultimate challenge is Honor Mode—which not only increases the game’s difficulty but adds permadeath. If your character dies, the game is over. Eight months ago, just days after developer Larian Studios first released the mode, just 464 people had completed Honor Mode out of 34,000 who tried and failed. Not surprisingly, Honor Mode completions have increased, but the people who have completed it are a fraction of the people who have tried it: 141,660 players have completed Honor Mode out of 1,223,305 who have tried, according to an infographic published on Wednesday. That’s just under 12% of Honor Mode campaign completion. Yes, it’s tough!
When you lose in Honor Mode, you have two options: delete your save or transfer it to Custom Mode. Seventy-six percent of players chose to delete their saves, while 24% transferred their character to Custom Mode. (Transferring a save to Custom Mode means you didn’t actually finish Honor Mode.)
It’s been a year since the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 and you know what we realized?
More than a quarter of you can’t resist fighting a genie, and a surprising number of you enjoy bear sex and tentacles.

Larian also released a bunch of other stats, just like they did eight months ago. The top three characters have changed: previously, they were Gale, Astarion, and Karlach; now they’re Astarion, Gale, and Shadowheart. But of course, 93% of players have decided to create their own custom characters for the game. Others Very an significant statistic is the number of players who were turned into a wheel of cheese increased by 660,000. Eight months ago, that was a huge percentage of the player base, but that’s no longer the case: Baldur’s Gate 3 has “well over” 10 million players across platforms, according to Larian Publishing Director Michael Douse(The 10 million number is from February, so it has probably increased.)
However, the number of people who decided to have sex with Halsin in his bear form did not change significantly: it is still around 30%. In total, players have given out over 75 million kisses across the range, but with 27 million kisses for Shadowheartmost popular choice for kissing. (“Give them a break, their lips are losing their pixels,” Larian wrote on X.) She’s still the most popular romance option, with 48.8% of people making it to her “final romance scene,” according to Larian.
There are many more statistics published about Xincluding those that discuss spoilers about the ending of the game. One choice — you have to click there to seebecause it contains major spoilers! – it is so occasional that only 34 people out of 10+ players have completed it Baldur’s Gate 3 in this way.
