Summerfall Studios has decided to postpone the release of Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical to August 10, in order to avoid a simultaneous launch with Baldur’s Gate 3 on PC. The studio expressed its desire to give players enough space to explore Stray Gods and avoid competition with the highly anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3.
Quick Facts
- Stray Gods was initially set to release on August 3 for multiple platforms
- Baldur’s Gate 3’s release date was moved to August 3 on PC, causing the clash
- Summerfall Studios aims to provide performance parity across all platforms
In a statement on Twitter, Summerfall Studios explained, “We also want everyone to be able to play on their preferred device at launch. This is a huge undertaking for any team, let alone an indie shipping its first title. This extra week allows us to have performance parity as close as possible, across every platform.” Stray Gods was initially planned to be released on August 3 for PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. However, Larian Studios announced in June that it would push up Baldur’s Gate 3’s launch to August 3 on PC while it would still launch for PS5 on September 6.
