Larian Studios has announced Baldur’s Gate III patch 7 is now available for consoles and Mac, bringing with it new evil endings, revamped split-screen play, and more.
Here’s a rundown on the new update:
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 3 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.
It’s been a couple of weeks since the PC community first got their hands on the Baldur’s Gate 3 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 Faerûn, you’ll do well to read our latest Community Update.

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.

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.
