The success of Baldur’s Gate 3 has done more than just boost the reputation of developer Larian Studios. The latest Q3 earnings figures for Hasbro—the parent company of Wizards of the Coast, which owns Dungeons & Dragons—indicates that the RPG also led to more sales for the tabletop game.

According to the earnings report, Wizards of the Coast revenues for both digital and license gaming rose by 133 percent year-over-year. In a two-month period ending on October 1, the company made $133.1 million in revenue from digital and licensed gaming. It is worth noting that these earnings include Dungeons & Dragons products, as well as Magic: The Gathering.

Hasbro itself attributes the growth in revenue to two main releases: Baldur’s Gate 3 and Monopoly Go!. Baldur’s Gate 3 itself apparently made roughly $63 million for Wizards of the Coast.

“Our third quarter results highlight the strength of Hasbro’s diversified toy and game portfolio and the progress we have made on our transformation,” said Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks. “Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming delivered a standout performance across strength in Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons, particularly the blockbuster August release of Baldur’s Gate 3.”

Baldur’s Gate 3 is available on PC and PS5. The game is also making its way on to Xbox Series X/S, with developer Larian stating that it hopes to release the game on Xbox before the end of the year.
