Will Baldur’s Gate 3 be single-player?

Baldur’s Gate 3 offers both single-player as well as multiplayer co-op. In Baldur’s Gate 3, your party will be comprised of 4 players. If you decide to play in single-player mode then you will be controlling your own character and you will be followed by your NPC companions.

However, if you want to play in multiplayer co-op, then each of the characters in your party will be controlled by your friends. In short, the experience will be completely different depending on how many are playing on the same game.

That being said, single-player is a completely viable option and you should have no trouble clearing most of the content in the game.
