Larian Studios has confirmed that it’s working on official cross-platform mod support for Baldur’s Gate 3.
In posts on X and Discord, Larian representatives acknowledged fan frustration over Baldur’s Gate 3 updates breaking different mods, such as the Script Extender.
While Larian said it’s planning to launch official mod support, these issues are expected to persist for some time yet as its introduction is likely still at least several months away.
“We generally don’t talk about things til they’re ready, but as you may have read, we’re making an exception,” said Larian director of publishing Michael Douse.
“We’ve been working on a robust, cross-platform plan for mod support to be released later in year. We love our modding community and we want to support them. It’s coming.
“We have a system but it needs to be tested and still requires work. We’re excited about it. I understand that it suck’s [sic] when the game is updated and mods break. Our community teams will start talking with and looping in modding community.”
Larian senior community strategist WombatMedic spoke at greater length about the studio’s plans for mod support in a Discord update.
“We want to continue making sure you’re getting the best possible experience, which is why we frequently patch the game, although this does inevitably mean that each new patch or hotfix has the potential to become incompatible with your favourite mods,” they wrote.
“We know this sucks, we know you want to play with mods, and we want to make this right.
“We are working on official mod support, and have been for a while. We want the very best for you, which includes establishing a pipeline that lets mod authors release their mods across different platforms.
Hotfix #19 is now rolling out!

“Together with the platform holders, we are working on making this a reality, and are forming a team to support mod curation. We’re aiming to offer modding support for things like classes, UI, customisation, spells, and certain assets and game mechanics.
“As this is no small task, we hope to introduce the initial stages of modding support in our next big patch, which is still several months away. Frustrated as you might be now, we’re keen to work with you on this – and have plans to reach out to popular mod authors to talk further and
