The celebrated role-playing game Baldur's Gate 3 has for the third consecutive year received a nomination for Outstanding Community Support at The Game Awards, leaving its development team at the studio behind the game equally shocked and thrilled.
Following the announcement of this year's nominees, the verified BG3 social media account posted the update, expressing gratitude to the community for their ongoing support.
"It's an absolute privilege to have been selected for Best Community Support again this year, but truly, this nomination is a proof to your unwavering enthusiasm for Baldur's Gate 3," the message stated.
The development studio reacted to the announcement with a mix of bafflement and pride.
Prize-Winning Legacy
The game was fully released on PC in the summer of 2023 and proceeded to win Game of the Year at the 2023 Game Awards, where it also claimed awards for Best Performance, Best RPG, Best Multiplayer, Player's Voice, and Best Community Support.
The following year, it was again nominated for the community award and ultimately took home the trophy. Now, it has received a nod for a third time, and it's widely thought it has a good shot of winning once more.
Ongoing Backing After Final Update
Even though Larian launched the title's last major patch in spring, that patch was exceptionally large. Patch #8 introduced some long-awaited features like cross-play and in-game photography, in addition to adding a dozen new character specializations to the title.
Although the studio confirmed that this update would be the conclusion of fresh content for the game, the studio has continued supporting the title or its fans, frequently implementing error corrections and quality-of-life updates. The latest update arrived in September as the thirty-fourth hotfix, which introduced a optimized build of the game for Steam Deck users.
Rivals and Fan Participation
To win the 2025 Best Community Support, Baldur's Gate 3 will have to defeat fellow nominees including FFXIV, Epic's battle royale, Helldivers 2, and Hello Games' space epic. That might sound like a daunting challenge, but considering that it beat the same four games to win the previous year's award, it is certainly possible that the developers will achieve another critical success and secure the trophy for the third consecutive time.
With finalists have been revealed, players can cast their votes through The Game Awards website.
