Larian Studios Introduces Official Mod Support for Baldur’s Gate 3 in Faerûn
Are you ready to enhance your gaming experience in the world of Faerûn? Larian Studios has exciting news for all Baldur’s Gate 3 fans! Official mod support is on its way, starting with a closed alpha today, followed by a closed beta test in July, leading up to the official release of Patch 7 in September. This staggered approach will allow the community to test new mod tools thoroughly before they become available on both PC and consoles.
Similarities to Mod Support in Skyrim and Fallout
If you’ve dabbled in modding games like Skyrim or Fallout, you’ll find Larian’s approach familiar. On PC, mods will undergo testing to ensure compatibility with terms of service and overall stability before approval. Console players, on the other hand, will only have access to mods officially approved by Larian. While PC players can enjoy the full range of mod creation tools, console players can browse and install mods through the official mod browser.

Patch 7: More Than Just Mod Support
Patch 7 is not just about introducing modding tools. It will also bring substantial content updates to the game, including improved evil endings, small narrative additions, and bug fixes. Additionally, look forward to crossplay and a photo mode in future updates beyond Patch 7’s release in September.
