Baldur's Gate 3 Adds 14 Approved Mods for Console Players
Players on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S can now download 14 new mods for Baldur's Gate 3, after developer Larian approved them for console. Video Games Chronicle reported the new wave on 10 November 2026.
A mod, short for modification, is player-made content that changes or adds to a game. Larian reviews each mod before it can appear in the game's mod launcher, the built-in tool that lists and installs them. The approved mods can be found through the mod menu on the title screen.
The new list is wide-ranging. It includes ZillionZ of Expressions, Midnight Sparkle, Vigilantia, Edith, NYX, ASGORATH and P4 Gale Padded Robe, among others. Two of the additions change how characters play. The Legend of Drizzt adds a new class built around Drizzt Do'Urden, a character from fantasy novels set in the Dungeons & Dragons world. Way of the Sword Saint adds a new Monk subclass, and Wild Spring Barbarian adds a new Barbarian subclass. A subclass is a specialised path within a character class, with its own abilities.
Console modding is a fairly recent addition. Baldur's Gate 3 received official console mod support as part of its seventh major patch in 2024. This wave arrives as the game's latest content continues to roll out.
According to the Baldur's Gate 3 news page, Patch 8 is rolling out to PC, Mac, PS5 and Xbox. It adds cross-play, which lets players on different platforms join the same game. It also brings 12 new subclasses, a Photo Mode for taking screenshots, split-screen play on Xbox Series S, and an update to the Modding Toolkit, the set of tools players use to build mods. The same page says the game now has a native Steam Deck build, meaning it runs on Valve's handheld without a compatibility layer. Hotfix #33, a small update that fixes problems between larger patches, is rolling out across all platforms.
For players, the practical step is simple. Open the mod menu on the title screen, pick from the approved list, and install what looks interesting. Mods can change a game in ways the original developer did not plan, so players may want to check what each one adds before they start a new save.
