Buy Baldur's Gate 3 for Steam via account activation

Baldur's Gate 3 is a large-scale turn-based RPG from Belgian studio Larian Studios. The game was released on August 3, 2023, for PC via Steam, won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2023, and maintains a 96/100 score on Metacritic for the PC version. The story takes place in Forgotten Realms — the Dungeons & Dragons universe. The game system is entirely based on D&D 5th edition rules: 12 base classes, 46 subclasses, 11 races, dice rolls for skill checks and combat initiative.

The game is divided into three acts. The plot begins with the protagonist being infected by a mind flayer (illithid) tadpole — a parasite that transforms the host into a mind flayer within days. A party of four companions searches for a way to remove the parasite while getting involved in Baldur's Gate politics, ancient cults of the Absolute, and the Dead Three conspiracy. The full campaign takes 60 to 100 hours; with all side quests — over 200 hours. Co-op mode supports up to four players online: each controls their character, makes dialogue choices, and influences the story's outcome.

What's included in Baldur's Gate 3 and Digital Deluxe DLC

Ashop offers three Baldur's Gate 3 products: the base game in two delivery formats and DLC.

Baldur's Gate 3 — Steam — Global

The full game with three acts, main campaign, four-player co-op, and all patches/updates. Activated on the buyer's Steam account. Region: Global (works in most countries). After activation, the game remains in your Steam library permanently with automatic updates.

Baldur's Gate 3 (Gift)

The same base game but as a Steam gift. The supplier sends a Steam gift link, which the buyer accepts from their own account without sharing passwords. Ideal if you prefer not to share Steam account details.

Baldur's Gate 3 Digital Deluxe DLC (Gift)

Digital add-on for owners of the base game. Includes collectibles inspired by Divinity: Original Sin II — Larian's previous RPG:

• Mask of the Shapeshifter — werewolf mask allowing appearance/race changes at camp
• Cape of the Red Prince — cosmetic cloak from Divinity: Original Sin II
• Lute of the Merryweather Bard — lute with expanded song repertoire for Bards
• Needle of the Outlaw Rogue — Rogue blade from Divinity collection
• Bicorne of the Sea Beast — headwear
• Adventurer's Pouch — starter bag with potions/consumables
• Digital extras — OST, artbook, Origin character sheets

Digital Deluxe doesn't add story content — these are cosmetic/utility items with no impact on endings or balance.

How to buy Baldur's Gate 3 for Steam via Ashop

The purchase process takes a few steps. Activation details vary slightly between Steam Global and Gift versions.

Step 1 — Choose a product

Step 4 — Complete payment

After payment, the order goes to the operator. Processing time depends on delivery type and supplier load.

Step 5 — Activation

Varies by product:

• Steam Global — operator contacts you, requests Steam login/password, activates the key, and logs out immediately. Game appears in your Steam library. Change password post-activation.
• Gift versions — operator sends Steam gift link to your Steam login/email. Accept the gift yourself — no password needed.

Once activated, the game is permanently tied to your Steam account with automatic updates.

Baldur's Gate 3 activation security

For Steam Global, activation requires your Steam account. Alternatives explained below.

When password is needed

Only for Steam Global — Steam lacks an API for key activation without login. Operator:

• Logs into your account using your credentials
• Activates Baldur's Gate 3/DLC key
• Logs out immediately

Operator does not:

• Change email/phone
• Disable Steam Guard/2FA
• Access Steam Wallet funds
• Trade CS:GO/Dota 2 items

Change your Steam password post-activation via security settings. Reissue Steam Guard if needed.

Gift alternative

Choose Baldur's Gate 3 (Gift) or Digital Deluxe DLC (Gift) to avoid sharing passwords. Operator sends Steam gift; you accept it yourself.

What Ashop never does

Ashop never asks for:

• Bank card details linked to Steam
• Steam Guard codes
• Email access
• Third-party account passwords

If anyone requests a one-time Steam Guard code — it's social engineering. Don't share it.
