Today marks a massive milestone for Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, as Patch 7 is officially rolling out on the two consoles – and that means we’re getting mods on console for the first time!
Yes, the in-game mod manager has been implemented in the Xbox version as of today, allowing you to download various tools to customise your game. The difference between console and PC is that only certain mods will be available on console, and they’ll be released in batches over time. Here’s a bit more about this:
“There are currently, uh, 69 mods that have passed internal testing [on console], and we’ll be adding more as we go. Making mods available on platforms other than PC will be a continuously reviewed process that may change to include additional functionality in the future. Mods ready for both Mac and console that have passed testing will be released in batches, so keep an eye out on your in-game mod browser to see when new mods are added.”
Beyond mods, Patch 7 also adds new evil ending cinematics, revamped split-screen gameplay, Honour Mode improvements and a whole lot more. The patch notes are huge, so instead of including them all below, we’ll direct you over to the Baldur’s Gate 3 website to check them out. Hotfix 26 and 27 have been released today as well.
We don’t know about you, but we can’t wait to check out these new mods in Baldur’s Gate 3 and see how we can enhance our game further… obviously the selection isn’t as exhaustive as on PC, but we’ll take what we can get!
