Larian Studios has released a fresh wave of content for the console versions of Baldur’s Gate 3. Following a drop of 10 additions last week, console players now have access to 15 additional pieces of content that have been officially vetted and approved by the developer.

Quick Facts

  • Availability: The 15 new content pieces are available now for PlayStation 5 and Xbox versions of Baldur’s Gate 3.
  • Key Addition: The update includes a new Sorcerer subclass and the "Infinite Combat" tool for creating custom scenarios.
  • Content Source: These additions are curated from the wider pool of over 18,500 mods on Nexus Mods and 8,000 on mod.io for the PC version of the game.

New Console Content Highlights

The latest batch of approved content covers a variety of gameplay, cosmetic, and quality-of-life adjustments. The most significant additions include:

  • Infinite Combat: A tool that lets players build custom combat encounters and spawn zombies.
  • Spellfire Sorcery: A new Sorcerer subclass based on the Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn Campaign.
  • Pact of the Heart: A new Warlock pact that allows players to sacrifice hit points to gain temporary health or deal extra spell damage.
  • Wyll's Devil Bonuses: Grants Wyll base fiend/cambion passives like Darkvision and Hellish Resistance following his transformation.
  • Remove Broken Objects: A zero-cost spell that clears broken objects within a 9-meter area (18-meter target radius).
  • Wet Sleet Storm: Updates the Sleet Storm spell to include the "wet" status effect.

Cosmetics and Quality of Life

Beyond combat mechanics, the update includes several aesthetic and behavioral tweaks for character creation and camp life:

  • Poesielibre's Whimsical Hair Colors: Adds 75 non-natural hair colors to the character creator.
  • Wrongway Elemental Clothes: Introduces 60 elemental-themed clothing options.
  • Camp Activities (Fixed): Improves NPC behavior in camp, allowing them to wander and perform actions independently.
  • A Nice Simple Hug: Extends the duration of the hug in Astarion’s Act 2 romance scene.
  • Such a Distinguished Gentleman: Adds 16 new gentlemanly poses.
  • Ordinary Maid Dress: Adds a new maid-style outfit.
  • Female Planar Ally: Sets Planar Ally summons, including the Wild Magic Cambion, to female variants.
  • Endgame Lae'zel Has Githyanki Egg: Automatically transfers the Githyanki egg to Lae'zel in the endgame if the party possesses it.
  • Merry's Simone: Adds a new standalone BT1 preset for Human, Tiefling, and Elf characters.

Larian Studios continues to manage the console content process manually, as the developer must vet and upload each piece to ensure compatibility with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox platforms. This process remains distinct from the PC version, where players have direct access to thousands of community-made modifications.
