Larian Studios has released a fresh lot of stats on how players are engaging with its hit RPG Baldur’s Gate 3, with the game having been out now for over four months. The developer has given an update on the game’s most popular romances, classes, and races, as well as revealing that a staggering number of players have been turned into a sentient cheese wheel.
To be specific, 1.24 million players have been turned into a cheese wheel by a djinni trained in cheesemancy–check out our guide here if you want to know exactly how this can happen. The number is shockingly close to the number of players who have actually finished the game, which sits at 1.3 million.
⚔️ Since our launch in August, over 1.3 million players have completed Baldur’s Gate 3.
🧀 A number almost equaled by those of you transformed into a wheel of cheese.

A number of the stats that were revealed after the game’s launch weekend have been updated in the new post. For instance, Paladins are still the game’s most popular class, and Clerics still the least popular, but the gaps between them have shrunk considerably. Githyanki are also no longer the least played race, having overtaken Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings–showing that Baldur’s Gate players prefer some height. Elves have also claimed the lead as most popular race, taking over from Half-Elves. While the launch weekend saw Scratch had been petted over 750,000 times, that number is now over 48.5 million.
