Baldur’s Gate 3 : Mods arrivent sur PS5 et Xbox Series X|S en Septembre!

Baldur’s Gate 3 Mods Coming to Consoles in September

If you’re a Baldur’s Gate 3 player on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, we’ve got good news and bad news for you. The good news is that BG3 mods for consoles will arrive with the game’s next patch! Huzzah! The bad news is that the patch is still around three months away… Darn. Even though you’ve got a little longer to wait, Larian has at least locked in a rough release date of September for Baldur’s Gate 3 mod support on consoles, along with fresh details about what’s in store.

Official Mod Support on the Horizon

Patch 7 of one of the best RPG games of all time will deliver that long-awaited official mod support, which paves the way for Xbox and PlayStation players to access them. An alpha for the Baldur’s Gate 3 Toolkit is underway as of today with a small number of BG3 modders getting their hands on it, but as mentioned, September is when it’ll be fully unleashed. Alongside this announcement, Larian has posted a lengthy FAQ about how its official support for BG3 mods will work. Within it are a few key bits of info that console players should be aware of.

Restrictions and Limitations

The first is that you won’t be able to create any mods on your PS5 or Xbox Series X|S console. You can download and play any that come through Larian’s official mod pipeline, but the actual creation of mods via the Baldur’s Gate 3 Toolkit is limited to PC. In terms of which mods make it through to PlayStation and Xbox players, “an internal curation process” will be approving suitable mods for consoles. Larian does stipulate that “not all PC mods will become available for console”, but we’re confident there will still be a huge range for you to use.

Also, you should be aware that unlike the unregulated, third-party mods that are currently circulating for BG3 on PC, there will be a few specific limitations to any official Toolkit mods. “Baldur’s Gate 3, as a Dungeons & Dragons game licensed by our partners, has certain guidelines in place to ensure the integrity of the game’s universe,” Larian explains. Some NSFW mods and certain script-heavy modifications may not be supported through the official pipeline.

Exciting Additions to the Game

Alongside official mod support, Patch 7 is also adding some new evil endings to Baldur’s Gate 3. Larian also reiterates its commitment to developing a photo mode and bringing crossplay to the game, but it sounds like they might be longer-term projects that won’t be ready for September’s update.
