Baldur's Gate 3 console players rejoice! There are nearly two-dozen new mods available

If you’re a fan of Baldur’s Gate 3 on console, there is some good news. Nearly two dozen new mods were just added to both PlayStation and Xbox, which, if you didn’t know, have fully integrated mod support within the game. So, unlike most games, Baldur’s Gate 3’s mods are not restricted to PC, and you won’t have to bother downloading anything from a third-party site. The newest selection of mods includes quality of life improvements, more character customization options, and a few subclasses.

Nearly two dozen Baldur’s Gate 3 mods are newly available for console players

Larian Studios’ Game of the Year winner, Baldur’s Gate 3, continues to be one of the most popular games nearly three years after its release. This is in no small part thanks to the developers embracing the modding community. Just from a baseline, Baldur’s Gate 3 is arguably one of the most replayable games in history. There are twelve classes to play, each with four subclasses, and that’s not even getting into the variations in how the story can play out. Mods only add to the number of options and variations.

The information was shared on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit. For those interested, here’s a list of all the new console mods included in this batch:

• Pool Floaties – Four inflatable pool floaties can be worn as hats.
• Super Skip Ship – Provides an option to skip tutorials.
• Modular Skirts Part 1 – Allows skirts to be adjusted separately from the in-game assets.
• Tail of the Frontier – Adds exclusive equipment for Wyll after his descent.
• Poesielibre’s Swashboockler – Gives Boo a pirate hat, eyepatch, and belt with a sword.
• Get A Room – Adds romantic animations from the game to photo mode.
• Moonlit Circlet – Adds circlets for all four tall body types.
• Tav’s Hair Salon – Adds new hairstyles to the character creator.
• Sniper Class – Adds a custom subclass for the Ranger.
• Dread Overlord | Mystra’s Spells – Adds some spells to the custom Warlock subclass.
• Tasha’s Additional Bard Spells – Adds some features and spells to the Bard class.
• Tasha’s Additional Sorcerer Spells – Adds some spells to the Sorcerer class.
• Skybound Wings – Adds custom wings, animations, and passive flight to Dragonborn.
• Nightingale – Adds a custom subclass for Rogue.
• Glitzy Horns – Adds a collection of custom eccentric Tiefling horns.
• Enemies Reworked – Gives enemies more spells, actions, and passive buffs.
• ASE Glamping – Act 2 Sets – Over four hundred new items to level up your campsite.
• 5E Ranger Subclasses – Adds Ranger subclasses from official D&D 5th Edition books.
• All Heads All Horns – Unlocks all head types, horns, hair, beards, and colors for all races.
• Concept Art Styled Withers – A visual overhaul for Withers, drawing inspiration from concept art.
• The Lads Head Presets – Four custom male Half-Orc head presets.
• The Lasses Head Presets – Four custom female Half-Orc head presets.
• Poesielibre’s Rogue Armor – Adds three sets of “rogue themed” armor for BT1 humanoids.

In the comments, fans are extremely excited for the additional hairstyles and a few other mods. One user wrote: “Every. Single. Time. I start a playthrough new mods come out and I’m forced to restart. Ugh!” There doesn’t appear to be any slowing down of new mods, and in fact, a few people in the comments talked about certain mods they are looking forward to eventually launching on console.

As someone who has been playing tabletop Dungeons & Dragons for a long time, it’s great to see the Baldur’s Gate 3 community enjoying mods so much. In tabletop D&D, there’s a very common thing called “homebrew,” which is essentially mods but for the tabletop game. Players create and use their own custom content, sometimes even sharing it with others online. It’s so great that the developers at Larian were able to embrace the “homebrew” aspect of D&D in some way, too.
