Ever since its release in August 2023, Baldur’s Gate 3 has captivated a sizable player base. The game has also won many awards including the ‘Game of the Year 2023’ award. With that being said, Baldur’s Gate 3 has recently announced modding support for PlayStation and Xbox players.
Let’s take a look and understand how Baldur’s Gate 3 console modding support would work.
Official Mod Support for Baldur’s Gate 3
The developers of the game, Larian Studios made an announcement on June 3, 2023, about the upcoming patch 7 for Baldur’s Gate 3. In this patch, Larian Studios has confirmed Official Mod Support for the game along with some other updates and improvements.
While the PC players had access to third-party mods ever since the game’s release, console players did not have any modding support due to platform restrictions. The introduction of Official Mod Support ensures that players on PlayStation and Xbox would also get modding support.
The developers have also confirmed that the mod support will be provided through Mod.io. As explained in the official patch notes by the developers, “Mod.io allows us(Larian Studios) to bring modding support to all platforms, and provides the necessary infrastructure to allow you to download mods on both PC and Console, manage uploaded mods, host guides, and provide a level of content moderation to keep the community safe.”
Difference between Mod support on PC and Consoles
Larian Studios has confirmed that along with installing mods, PC players will be able to use the official modding toolkit to create mods for Baldur’s Gate 3. On the other hand, players on PlayStation and Xbox will not have any access to mod creation but will be able to install curated mods to use in the game. PC players will still have the ability to use third-party mods.
When will the patch 7 for Baldur’s Gate 3 Release?
As of now, the developers of the game have not confirmed any specific date but they have confirmed that patch 7 will be released in September 2024.
