Will the game pick up updates if you bypass Steam and the Larian Launcher? (self.baldurs_gate_3)

Basically title. I normally open the game using a shortcut directly to the .exe file, because I don't want to need two other programs open up every single time. Does anyone know if this will still pick up the updates, or do I need to open Steam and/or the Larian Launcher in order to pick those up?

You can bypass the Larion Launcher by following these steps: -Right-click the game in your library and select Properties. -Look for the Launch Options field at the bottom of the General tab. -Add "--skip-launcher" and close the properties window. -Launch the game as normal. That way you don't need to go through the application directly
