Baldur's Gate 3 Unauthorized Mobile Version Surfaces in App Store

A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning for players. This deceptive app, disguised with modified screenshots and a fake mobile HUD, is free initially but demands a steep $29.99 monthly subscription fee. Crucially, no official mobile version of Baldur's Gate 3 exists.

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 serve as a major red flag.

Data Theft Concerns:

While the exorbitant subscription fee is a clear giveaway, the app's terms of service raise serious concerns. It explicitly states that user IP addresses and potentially other data will be collected. This underscores the importance of caution when downloading seemingly free apps.

This isn't the first instance of a Baldur's Gate 3 scam app; similar fraudulent apps have appeared previously. While currently absent from the Android store, vigilance is advised for both iOS and Android users. If an offer seems too good to be true, it likely is.

Larian Studios has not announced plans for a mobile port of Baldur's Gate 3. However, earlier installments in the series are available on mobile platforms, and Baldur's Gate 3 can be streamed via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Immediate Action: Anyone who downloaded the fraudulent app should uninstall it immediately to mitigate potential data breaches. Always verify the developer's legitimacy before installing any app.
