When Larian Studios announced it would leave the Baldur's Gate IP behind, many assumed support for Baldur's Gate 3 would fizzle out. But hold up – the studio's been dropping banger updates like it's going out of style. Throughout 2025, they've consistently vetted and ported mods to consoles, proving they're still all-in on this RPG masterpiece. From summonable Owlbear Cubs to wild Skyrim crossovers, they've kept the party alive. This week? Another clutch move with 20 freshly approved mods hitting consoles. Talk about commitment!
Let's keep it 💯 – console players ain't got the modding luxuries of PC folks swimming in 15K+ mods. But Larian's hustling to level the playing field, pushing 80-100 console mods monthly through their vetting pipeline. This latest batch proves they're not just phoning it in:
Gameplay Revolutionizers 🎮
-
Invoker Class: These occult warriors channel spirits from beyond the grave – straight up necromancer-meets-paladin vibes
-
Oath of the Frozen Wilds Paladin: Ice-themed smites and frostbite spells? Brrr-illiant!
-

Cosmetic & QoL Tweaks ✨
| Mod Name | Highlights |
|---|---|
| Tailless Tieflings | Bye-bye tails |
| Prismatic Smite | Rainbow smite visual explosions |
| Boo Dice | Eye-shaped dice for critical rolls 👁️ |
| Mizora's Human Form | Restores early access design |
| Overexplained Options | No more \u201cWTF did that dialogue choice mean?\u201d |
The real mic-drop? The Invoker Class. These spectral conduits blur lines between life and death, offering gameplay that's next-level fresh. As one player put it: \u201cIt's like multiclassing without the paperwork nightmare.\u201d
While cosmetic mods like Bloodspun Head Presets and Dragonborn Glowing Eyes add flair, it's the class expansions rewriting playbooks. Frost Paladins charging through encounters? Invokers summoning ghost armies? That's the good stuff keeping 2025 playthroughs spicy. Larian's mod curation feels less like obligation and more like genuine hype for community creativity.
So what gives? Why keep pouring resources into a \u201ccomplete\u201d game? Maybe it's that sweet player engagement. Maybe it's passion. Whatever the sauce, Baldur's Gate 3 ain't just surviving post-launch – it's evolving. And honestly? We're here for this extended encore. 🎭
