A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning to players. This counterfeit app, deceptively presented with modified screenshots and a fake mobile UI, 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 fake 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 suspicion.
Data Theft Concerns:
Beyond the financial scam, the app's terms of service reveal potential data harvesting, including IP addresses and other user information. While many players might recognize the deception, the free initial download could lure unsuspecting users into a trap 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, this fraudulent app doesn't appear on the Android store. However, players on both platforms should exercise caution. Larian Studios has not announced a mobile port for Baldur's Gate 3. However, earlier Baldur's Gate titles are available on mobile, and Baldur's Gate 3 can be streamed via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Anyone who downloaded the fake app should delete it immediately. Always verify developer information before installing any app.
