Modding has arrived for PC players of Baldur’s Gate 3, with the release of the long-awaited Patch 7 that introduces user-created weapons, armor, classes, spells, dice skins, and more. Larian Studios emphasizes that modding will never be restricted to their official pipeline but aims for stability and cross-platform compatibility with approved mods. While initially available on PC, Patch 7 is set to land on console and macOS in October. This may cause short-term compatibility issues for game saves across platforms, but cross-platform save compatibility will return with the update. The console versions of Patch 7 will undergo an additional curation process to determine which mods will be available, ensuring continued support for the modding community both officially and unofficially. Mod support serves as a way for Larian to keep the game thriving while shifting focus to new projects and marks a significant handover moment to players. If players are eager to delve into modding, tutorials and guidelines are available to help with creating, installing, and exploring mods for Baldur’s Gate 3.
