Originally, all versions of Baldur's Gate 3 had targeted the same launch date: the end of August. Developer Larian Studios (who also made Divinity: Original Sin 2) has now explained that because the Steam version will be ready sooner, they will release it sooner. The PlayStation 5 version is also running at 60 FPS, so it will be ready a short time later, hence the September release.

Early access for Baldur's Gate 3 begins on September 30th on Steam. The stream highlighted the sheer size of the game, using Larian Studios' other popular RPG, Divinity: Original Sin 2 as a comparison when it hit early access.

Announced only on PC and coming to Early Access this year, Baldur's Gate 3 looks like it's coming along nicely. The game will feature four player online co-op when released. Check below for the intro video, a recap of features, the full stream recap and finally two dozen screenshots.
That said, there is an ominous caveat in the press release announcing that date that simply says "Maybe." We'll keep our fingers crossed and our masks on as we wait patiently for the return to RPG goodness. In the meantime check out this mood setting in engine trailer that shows off some impressive visuals and starts the hype meter.
