Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em> modding has arrived for PC players. After a closed alpha in June and an open beta in July, the long-awaited Patch 7 \u2014 which may be the game\u2019s last big update \u2014 is now available. It lets you play around with user-created weapons, armor, classes and subclasses, spells, dice skins and just about anything else you can imagine.<\/p>\n Mods are available through an official (mod.io-powered) in-game Mod Manager and external channels. \u201cWe will never prevent modding outside of our own official pipeline,\u201d Larian Studios wrote<\/a>. But the developer says its officially approved mods are targeted for stability and cross-platform compatibility. \u201cIt\u2019ll also ensure a smoother experience, at the cost of more script-focused modding, which can still be done outside of our pipeline,\u201d the studio wrote.<\/p>\n Larian said earlier this summer that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 <\/em>mod support would arrive on PC first, with Mac and console support \u201cshortly after.\u201d But the developer clarified in an update today that console (PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S) and macOS players can expect Patch 7 in October.<\/p>\n That presents some short-term compatibility issues. If you want your game save files to work across PC and console, you\u2019ll need to hold off on installing Patch 7 on your PC. However, cross-platform save compatibility will return in October when the update lands on PlayStation, Xbox and Apple devices.<\/p>\n
