Already rocking the world on PC, Baldur’s Gate 3’s super-powerful Patch 7 is now available on consoles and Mac, bringing with it a host of changes and additions – including mods. Larian’s has released another fantastic animated short to celebrate the latter, and urges you to slap your magic-filled thong on your loading order to get started.
If you want a full rundown of what’s included in the patch, the full notes are out there now, and you’ll find all the other details in our articles about the evil ending, mod support, improved split-screen, and everything else. The patch arrived on PC last month. Make sure you bring your reading glasses, I’m keeping this relatively brief but I’m not a miracle worker.
