What to gift someone who’s already beaten Baldur’s Gate 3
Pick by how they played
A Baldur’s Gate 3 fan who just finished usually wants more of the same. Loved the turn-based combat and co-op? Start with Larian’s earlier RPG. Loved the D&D rules or the character screen? Try Solasta, Pathfinder, or a starter box, or see our full list of games like Baldur’s Gate 3.

Divinity: Original Sin 2, the safe pick that still lands
Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition
Platforms: PC on Steam; consoles · Price: $44.99 (Steam, Oct 6, 2026) · Length: ~59 hrs · Mode: solo, co-op up to 4 · Rating: ESRB Mature.
Same studio, same instincts: origin characters, turn-based combat, and fights won with height and the elements. The co-op is the real gift, online or on one screen.
Who it’s not for: Anyone who wants BG3’s modern look; it’s a 2017 release.

Gifting it for two
Buying for a pair? See our co-op games like Baldur’s Gate 3.
Solasta: the D&D 5e game most gift lists skip
Solasta: Crown of the Magister
Platforms: PC, Xbox, PlayStation 5 · Mode: solo, online co-op.
It runs on the D&D SRD 5.1 ruleset, the fifth-edition family BG3 is built on. Light and height matter in fights, and co-op is included.
Who it’s not for: Anyone who wants BG3-scale production; the studio is far smaller.
💡 Player Tip: Palace of Ice, a level 10–16 campaign, is separate content. Check the edition.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, for the min-maxer
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – Enhanced Edition
Platforms: PC, PlayStation, Xbox · Length: ~52 hrs main · Mode: solo.
Build a character on the Pathfinder First Edition ruleset, then add a Mythic path. If their favourite BG3 hours were spent on the character screen, this pays off. The Enhanced Edition is standard, per Owlcat’s launch post.
Who it’s not for: Anyone who wants a lighter rules load.
⚠️ Heads Up: At console launch, premium DLC was sold separately. Check what’s included.
Check the platform
Platform lists have shifted since 2022. Confirm on the recipient’s store.

D&D Starter Set: Heroes of the Borderlands
Platforms: Physical box · Price: $49.99 at launch · Length: 40–60 hrs per retailer copy · Mode: 3–5 players, one Dungeon Master.
Released September 16, 2025, it puts D&D, the game BG3 is built on, in a box: four classes, three adventure booklets, maps, tokens and 11 dice. The publisher describes it as cooperative and suited to any skill level.
Who it’s not for: Anyone without 3–5 players and a willing Dungeon Master.

What we’d skip: the obvious Baldur’s Gate gift that disappoints
The original Baldur’s Gate games
The Baldur’s Gate and II Enhanced Editions cost $49.99 on the US Xbox store on October 2, 2026, rated Teen. They update decades-old games with pausable real-time combat, far from BG3’s turn-based play. For classics fans, see classic CRPGs like Baldur’s Gate or Game Pass picks.
Don’t gift an IOU for Divinity
Larian’s Divinity has no announced release date, and its CEO told Bloomberg early access is unlikely in 2026. Give a pick above instead.
