Baldur’s Gate 3received its Patch 5 update this week, adding a host of new features including the grueling endurance run called Honour Mode. Today, Larian Studios shared how many have cleared the challenge thus far, and it’s quite humbling.
In aseries of stat infographics, Larian shows that 464 parties have finishedBaldur’s Gate 3Honour Mode. A number in the hundreds might seem large, but that’s out of roughly 158,000 Honour Mode playthroughs that have kicked off thus far. And just as importantly, over 34,000 of those runs have already been brought to an end.

It seems like Honour Mode is living up to its goal of beingan even-greater challengeforBaldur’s Gate 3players. Alongside enforcing a single save file and upping the general challenge ofBG3, the mode adds an arsenal of Legendary Actions for its bosses. Remember those tough story bosses inBG3? They get brand-new moves with even more potential to do damage, in a mode where a party wipe puts your file in the dumpster. (You can still technically continue it in Custom Mode, but c’mon, we’re all gunning for the golden D20.)
It’s an impressive feat. Those who have already clearedBaldur’s Gate 3in Honour Mode—and in a week at that—have certainly earned their bragging rights.
