BG3 console players get new content
Console players of Baldur’s Gate 3 received 14 new pieces of content today, including a Mage Seeker class, a Heartsworn subclass, and a Mind Flayer race option. ( ) Modders also report technical hassles remain—like frustrating ladder placement when building custom maps—and Larian has an official BG3 release tied to continuing adventures scheduled for April 24.

Baldur’s Gate 3 console players got another official mod drop on April 14, adding 14 new mods through Larian’s in-game system on PlayStation 5 and Xbox. (thegamer.com ) The new batch includes the Mage Seeker class, the Heartsworn Knight subclass, and a playable Mind Flayer race option, according to reports published Monday and Tuesday. OpenCritic and TheGamer both described it as the second console content drop of April. (opencritic.com ) (thegamer.com ) These additions are mods, not a new Larian patch. Larian said in April 2025 that Patch 8 was the game’s last major content update, while its official mods page says Baldur’s Gate 3 now supports community-made classes, subclasses, spells, armor, and other add-ons through the in-game manager. (baldursgate3.game ) (baldursgate3.game ) That distinction explains why console players are still getting fresh options in 2026. Larian’s support pages say official mod support arrived with Patch 7 and that supported mods can be installed directly from the in-game Mod Manager. (larian.com ) (forums.larian.com ) The pace has slowed since earlier waves of console approvals. TheGamer said this was the second April drop after an April 3 batch that added other fan-made options, including Hag and Gloom Weaver classes and a werewolf version of Shadowheart. (thegamer.com ) On the creation side, modders say the tools still have rough edges. FRVR reported this month that creators building custom campaigns and maps still run into fiddly tasks, including ladder placement in player-made levels. (frvr.com ) That frustration sits alongside a much bigger mod scene. Nexus Mods listed about 29,600 Baldur’s Gate 3 mods as of April 14, while mod.io showed hundreds of Baldur’s Gate 3 collections and a live portal for Larian-approved downloads. (nexusmods.com ) (mod.io ) (mod.io ) Larian is not shipping new story DLC for the game, but Baldur’s Gate 3 is still getting licensed releases outside the game itself. CBR reported that a new line of Dungeons & Dragons miniatures tied to the cast is scheduled for April 24. (cbr.com ) For console players, the result is a game that stopped getting major official patches in 2025 but keeps changing through approved community work in 2026. Tuesday’s 14-mod drop is the latest example of that handoff. (baldursgate3.game ) (thegamer.com )
