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

A fraudulent Baldur's Gate 3 mobile port has surfaced on the iOS App Store, prompting a warning to players. This fake app, deceptively similar to the genuine game, is free initially but demands a hefty $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 developed by "Dmytro Turuk," employs modified screenshots from the actual game with a superimposed fake mobile HUD. The absence of any mention of Larian Studios, the game's developer, or its Dungeons & Dragons origins should immediately raise suspicion.

Data Theft Concerns:

While the app's deceptive nature might be obvious to some, its free initial download could lure unsuspecting players. The subscription fee is revealed only after installation. More concerningly, the terms of service suggest the app collects user IP addresses and potentially other personal data. This isn't an isolated incident; similar Baldur's Gate 3 rip-offs have appeared before.

Currently, this specific fraudulent app hasn't been reported on the Android store, but caution is advised for both iOS and Android users. Remember, if an offer seems too good to be true, it likely is. Larian Studios hasn't announced any plans for a mobile port of Baldur's Gate 3, though earlier installments in the series are available on mobile platforms. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also provides streaming access to Baldur's Gate 3.

Anyone who has downloaded the counterfeit Baldur's Gate 3 mobile app should delete it immediately to protect their data and avoid financial losses.
