In this guide, you will learn how to exit turn-based mode across all systems while playing Baldur’s Gate 3.

Since the PS5 release, many gamers have gotten stuck in turn-based mode. When an enemy makes a move, you need to wait until the turn finishes. Likewise, enemies wait and have to deal with your turn unless the turn gets over. As you progress, there is a chance that the turn-based mode may have accidentally been enabled or disabled.
