A Baldur’s Gate 3 update is available now and aims to fix bugs in patch 6. As a bonus, the developers have made a very big announcement.
Patch 6 of Baldur’s Gate 3 brought changes expected by players, but also and as often, a lot of inconveniences. And as always, Larian Studios is on the front line to fix as many issues as possible quickly, and several small updates have already been deployed. The work remains important since the team promises to tackle other problems, but to wait, a hotfix 19 is online. Let some also be ready to welcome a huge novelty.
A new hotfix 19 patch for Baldur’s Gate 3
Baldur’s Gate 3 is an ultra ambitious, massive game, and that is inevitably accompanied by problems of all kinds. This is inevitable given the complexity of current games, but the important thing is that they are tuned so as not to spoil the players’ experience. And on this point, Larian Studios is not only very attentive to its community, but also very responsive. Just two days after hotfix 18, Baldur’s Gate 3 update 19 is available for download. Like the previous ones, it’s a smaller patch, but it still fixes bugs, glitches and crashes.
For example, Xbox Series X|S players should no longer have trouble with multiplayer invitations to play with others. The developers also say they have resolved the crash when loading modded Baldur’s Gate 3 saves on PC. Performance could drop when bartering in Honor mode, but a fix was made with this hotfix 19. Some lines of dialogue that could skip, when the Flaming Fist tries to force entry to the Waukyne Rest Inn or during an exchange with the talking door of Auntie Ethel’s house, are restored. You can find the full hotfix 19 notes with all the details on the Baldur’s Gate 3 website.
Mods coming soon to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
Now that we’ve mentioned mini-patch 19 of Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s time for the announcement that everyone is waiting for, especially an audience. Larian Studios is working well on official cross-platform mod support for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It was the publishing director who spilled the beans on this new feature. However, there is currently no release window. The only certainty is that it will happen later this year.
We usually don’t talk about things until they’re ready. But as you may have read, this time we are making an exception. We’re putting together a solid, cross-platform plan for mod support. This will be available later this year. We love our modding community and want to support it. It happens. We have a system, but it needs testing, which requires work. We are enthusiastic. But I understand that it sucks when mods no longer work during game updates. So we will start discussions with the modding community.

PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players will therefore be entitled to mods on Baldur’s Gate 3 this year.
