Baldur's Gate 3 Gets New Update on PC and PS5
07.03.2024 - 20:39 / gamerant.com / New Update
Hotfix #21 for Baldur's Gate 3 has arrived for PC and PS5 with yet more fixes for common issues players have found themselves experiencing lately. This update also restores a few quality-of-life features Baldur's Gate 3 players enjoyed that had been previously removed. The release of Hotfixes #20 and #21 for Xbox is delayed for the time being due to a bug causing the game to crash on the console.
Gaming for Baldur's Gate 3 players has certainly had its ups and downs since the release of Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6 in mid-February. While Patch 6 introduced new animations and set the foundation for new as-yet-unvoiced dialogue for certain characters, it also brought with it some unpleasant side effects. Many Baldur's Gate 3 players began experiencing an uptick in performance and graphics issues with the game, ranging from mildly annoying to game-breaking.
Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix #21 brings an end to the Enemy of Justice tag being incorrectly applied in certain conditions, meaning NPCs will allow progression through Mountain Pass, Créche Y'llek, the Shadow-Cursed Lands, and the Lower City to be (a little) less hostile. Minthara is again the star of many of the update's scripting fixes, as she was in Hotfix #20, with this update providing a solution for the game not recognizing her knockout as a defeat, thereby preventing completion of the goblin camp quest. Minthy will also no longer spoil Act 3 with her greeting earlier on in the game.
Hotfix #21 also sees the return of a few favorite quality-of-life features with regards to inventory management. Baldur's Gate 3 players will again be able to send items to companions' inventories via the Traveler's Chest or to a character back at camp. Traders' menus have again been tweaked, a continuing theme since the onslaught of trading issues brought on by Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6.
While Xbox users will have to deal with some delay in order to enjoy Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfixes #20 and #21, they should by no means feel ignored. As Larian Studios continues to test and refine the two hotfixes for the console, this update addresses a number of crashes reported by Xbox users. Considering how much of the crashes and blockers portion of the announcement is devoted to Xbox specifically, it's likely the developers are well on their way to finding a solution that will allow those playing on Xbox to finally have access to the newer Baldur's Gate 3 updates.
Baldur's Gate 3 is a Dungeons and Dragons inspired RPG developed and published by Larian Studios. Featuring both a single player and cooperative element, players create their character by selecting a starting class, take on quests, level up, and engage in turn-based combat using the D&D 5th edition rule set.
