The first Baldur’s Gate 3 patch promises ‘1,000+ fixes and tweaks’

Following yesterday's tweet about Patch 2's new character epilogues, Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios has now shared a lot more information on the upcoming update.

Baldur's Gate III is arguably the game of the summer, and it isn't even out on consoles yet. Developer Larian Studios has taken a "it'll be out when it's ready" approach to releasing the game on various platforms. After becoming an instant hit on Windows when it came out of early access earlier this month, Baldur's Gate III will land on PlayStation 5 and macOS on September 6th. The exact Xbox release date is still unclear, but Larian has finally confirmed the massive RPG will come to Microsoft's consoles later this year.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a pretty chunky game, with players spending up to over 100 hours just to see everything that the world has to offer. That's why it can be difficult to comprehend that developer Larian Studios actually cut a lot of stuff from the final product, some of it just mere weeks before the game's full release earlier this month. Thankfully, one committed fan has put it all together for us so we can easily see what could've been.

A large content update & round of bug fixes are coming to Baldur’s Gate 3, as a new patch is in development that will add requested features and address glitches that have been reported to the developer Larian Studios. While Baldur’s Gate 3 is very much playable in its retail form, there are still many issues that need addressing with the game.

Larian Studios has two patches in the works for Baldur’s Gate 3 — the first targeting over 1,000 bug fixes and tweaks to the Dungeons & Dragons-based role-playing game and feelgood hit of the summer. The second will move on from mere bug-squashing and will start incorporating some of players’ most requested features.

Larian Studio's first major patch for Baldur's Gate 3 will have over one thousand «fixes and tweaks», studio CEO and game director Swen Vincke has said.

Larian Studios confirms that the first major Baldur's Gate 3 update will feature 1,000 fixes and tweaks.

Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian has revealed the current roadmap for updates to the game, including a patch that makes over 1,000 fixes and tweaks.

Larian boss Swen Vincke has revealed that the studio is currently working on a number of updates to critically-acclaimed RPG Baldur’s Gate 3. Among updates coming to the game, it is slated to get Hotfix 4, its first major patch with over 1,000 fixes and tweaks, and a second patch that will bring in some fan-requested features to the game.

Following Baldur's Gate 3's wildly successful PC launch and a few bug-squashing hotfixes, Larian CEO Swen Vincke says that the D&D RPG will get one more hotfix (there have been three so far) before its first big patch, which will include "+1,000 fixes and tweaks." That patch will then be followed by—and you might've been able to guess this—another patch, one which'll start to respond to player suggestions.

Larian Studios has started to tease what to expect from the first major Baldur's Gate 3 patches, including more than 1,000 fixes in patch 1 alone.

I've struggled at times on Baldur's Gate 3's normal difficulty, so I can only imagine how it feels for players who are brand new to D&D or Larian RPGs. With very little explanation, it chucks hotbars full of terms like «bonus action,» «cantrip,» spell slot," and so much more at players. If it feels like you missed a tutorial, you're not the only one, but in an interview with PC Gamer last week, Larian founder Swen Vincke contested that there is a tutorial in Baldur's Gate 3, just not a traditional step-by-step guide. It's all of Act 1.
