It seems like this problem has affected those excited players who quickly started downloading the full game. Since the game is a hefty 122 GB, it’s natural for them to eagerly hit that “Install” button. Unfortunately, that seems to be the main reason behind the issue for some players.

Specifically, the Digital Deluxe Edition DLC may mistakenly show up as “Paid” under the download banner, while the “Manage My DLC” section on the right side of the Steam library page for the game appears empty.

It’s understandable to feel disappointed, but don’t worry, there are some simple steps to try and fix it. Let’s explore them together:

1. Pause the Game Download

If you jumped right into downloading Baldur’s Gate 3, the DLC might not have refreshed properly in your library. Simply pause the download and wait a bit to see if any changes occur. Keep an eye on the “Manage My DLC” tab for any updates.

2. Reload or Refresh the DLC Page

Head to the DLC’s purchase page by clicking on it, and then attempt to reload the page. This might help refresh the purchase and reflect it accurately in your library.

3. Restart the Steam Client

If the previous methods don’t work, give this one a shot.

• Pause the download for Baldur’s Gate 3.
• Close the Steam client entirely.
• Ensure that it’s shut down even from the tray on your desktop.
• Restart Steam.
• This should add the DLC to your download queue.

4. Be patient and wait for an official fix

If none of the above steps work, don’t lose heart just yet. Sometimes, technical issues on Steam are not entirely uncommon, especially during a game’s launch. Considering Baldur’s Gate 3 has just made its debut, a few bumps in the road are to be expected.

If all else fails, and the issue persists for a growing number of players, rest assured that Larian Studios has a reputation for addressing and resolving player concerns. So, patience may very well be the key.
