Given how popular Baldur's Gate 3 is, it's no stretch to imagine that the game has been played all around the world, but Larian has revealed that two people in a very unusual place indeed have enjoyed the game.
According to publishing director Michael Douse on X (formerly Twitter), two copies of Baldur's Gate 3 have been sold in Vatican City, and one person there has it on their Steam wishlist as well.
Douse rather amusingly says he likes to imagine the wishlisting person is "the Pope waiting until he has a free minute", expressing a wish to "see their mod list" and suggesting said list is "absolutely gnarly". That seems like an understatement.
Technically speaking, the Vatican is a city-state in its own right, although it does qualify as the smallest state in the world. At last count, 764 people inhabited Vatican City, with 618 of those people being citizens.
It should go without saying that Vatican City is an intensely religious place, so it's quite amusing to imagine someone living in such a place playing Baldur's Gate 3, a game that might have been considered heretical by the Catholic Church just a few decades ago.
Perhaps even...
