The latest patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 is now live, and with it comes the news that the “packed” update, which delivers official modding support, 13 new ending cinematics, and other new features for the 2023 fantasy RPG, is approximately 11.6 GB on PC and will require 160 GB of free space to install. Larian Studios, the developer behind the game, has advised players who lack that amount of space to uninstall Baldur’s Gate 3 and then re-download the patched version.
Larian on some of Patch 7’s biggest features:
- “Whether you embraced absolute power, carried out your father’s will, played as an Origin character or were generally a menace to society, you’ll find Patch 7 now introduces 13 new cinematics that offer varying conclusions to your most evil playthroughs.”
- “To add to the nightmare fuel, we’ve also made some improvements to Honour Mode combat, like giving Malus Thorm a new Legendary Action called Grasping Appendage. Gross.”
- “We’re also bringing you another way to mod your Baldur’s Gate 3 saves, with Patch 7 introducing our very own in-game Mod Manager and modding Toolkit, which can be downloaded on Steam for PC players!”
A look at the in-game mod manager:
Larian noted:
…Patch 7 is headed to console and Mac in October, and we will keep you updated with our progress Unfortunately, this does mean that console players will not be able to load cross-saves if they come from Patch 7 on PC – and multiplayer between PC and Mac will not be possible. We are still working on bringing crossplay to Baldur’s Gate 3, and like Patch 7, this requires a lot of work and testing before we’re prepared to release it into the wild.
