Baldur’s Gate 3 Will See Fan-Requested Features as Part of Second Major Patch

Larian Studios had much to discuss in its recent Steam Community post for Baldur’s Gate 3, from confirming major performance improvements with Patch 2 to discussing “cut content.” It also outlined its plans, which are to continue monitoring bugs and patch them “as fast as we can.”

Larian Studios’ next major patch forBaldur’s Gate 3 is coming soon. As promised, some new details are available. In a new Steam Community post, the developer revealed that the city of Baldur’s Gate is “ambitious” in scope, which led to some setbacks.

Baldur's Gate 3's second patch is right around the corner, with Larian Studios suggesting that it's a ‘chonky' one. In a community update post on Steam, the developer revealed that the patch will be focused on improving performance issues, specifically in Act 3, where players have reported laggy cutscenes and stutters when the camera pans around. In addition to fixing bugs that halted quest progression, our companion, the cheerful Tiefling Karlach, will be getting a new optional ending — a closure that is described as ‘fiery' and ‘poignant'. The lengthy blog post also touches upon some cut content that was discovered recently by data miners, some of which have now been revealed as a consequence of bugs.

Baldur's Gate 3's next big patch is releasing soon, and by all accounts it will be a chonky one, featuring a host of performance improvements and other fixes. Even better, Patch 2 will apparently address Minthara, who has been hobbled by what director Swen Vincke describes as a "very, very stupid bug."

Larian Studios’ next patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 is “around the corner,” per a recent tweet from the developer. It offers “major” improvements to performance and several new tweaks and changes. More importantly, it “begins our journey incorporating feedback into Origin Character epilogues, among other major things.”

Baldur’s Gate 3 has been available for a few weeks now, following its exit from Early Access. An official release has prompted new players to dive deep into the sprawling campaign and the expanded content it now offers. This influx of players has generated new issues for patches to fix.

Though it seemed for a while that Baldur’s Gate 3 might not be able to hit Xbox Series X/S util next year, Larian Studios recently confirmed that the acclaimed RPG will indeed be coming to Xbox in 2023, with splitscreen co-op not supported on Xbox Series S. The studio also confirmed that the game’s Xbox version will support cross-saves with PC, though Larian Studios’ director of publishing Michael Douse has since then clarified that that won’t be all.

There’s been plenty of talk about Baldur’s Gate 3 since its launch earlier in the month. The game has been in the works for years and on Steam Early Access for a long time to help refine things, and now that it’s out, people are enjoying the fruits of everyone’s labors. That includes the work of Larian Studios, who went all in to deliver a D&D-style experience while also making it great for casual video gamers to jump in and play. Even with the game’s launch, Larian has been working hard on refining the game even more, which led to the title’s first significant patch being dropped today.
