Larian Games has released the “Patch 7” update for Baldur’s Gate III, which adds 13 new Evil Endings, improved split-screen gameplay, and a curated selection of in-game mods built by the community.

Get the details below.

Already available on PC, Patch 7 now allows Mac and console players to access callous mutilations, multiplayer updates, and a growing collection of player-made mutations that populate our latest patch.

Highlights include:

  • Our Very Own In-Game Mod Manager – Browse, install, and use a curated selection of mods created by the community! Build mods on PC with the Baldur’s Gate III Toolkit; an official, accessible way to get into the world of modding.
  • New “Evil Endings” – Brand-new cinematic endings for your most villainous playthroughs, as well as unique endings if playing an Origin Character.
  • Revamped Split-Screen Gameplay – Dynamic split-screen is now available for couch co-op multiplayer! When playing on split-screen and near your fellow party member, the screen will merge into one as you adventure together.

Patch 7: Mods are officially in your hands now. Go wild!

It’s been a couple of weeks since the PC community first got their hands on the Baldur’s Gate III Modding Toolkit, and they have been cooking up a bevy of mods. Grease up environments for extra fire-blasted pandemonium, add new options to the user interface for a more personalized experience, or even roam the Sword Coast with 15 more party members. If you’re curious what sort of otherworldly mods are disrupting Faerun, you’ll do well to read our latest Community Update.

New to the world of modding? Feeling overwhelmed, frightened, yet desperate to give Astarion a beard? We’ve also prepped a video walking through some of the best starter mods on the newly launched Larian: Channel from Hell, which promises exclusive behind-the-scenes looks, developer interviews, and more regularly scheduled chaos.

Players who’ve fallen in love with the bizarre land of modding and are curious about trying their own hand at it can find our full modding guidelines here.

Today’s patch also adds quality-of-life improvements to scripting, writing, animations, and general gameplay. Test your might in Honour Mode—now with added difficulty and customization options, including new Legendary Actions, as well as numerous bug fixes for Origin Character and Dark Urge playthroughs. There may even be a way for a certain Tiefling bard to join the party… for a time. Just don’t get too attached. Full patch notes for Patch 7 can be found here.

Baldur’s Gate III is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and GOG.
