Baldur’s Gate 3 Console Mods Introduce New Romances, Equipment, and Subclasses on PS5 and Xbox Series
Baldur’s Gate 3 Welcomes Console Mods Since its official support on PlayStation and Xbox, Baldur’s Gate 3’s community has actively contributed content. This week marks the release of a significant new wave of community-created content, with over 26 mods now available for PS5 and Xbox Series. These new additions introduce a variety of content, including fresh romances, unique equipment, and additional subclasses. Players can even encounter a pink-bowed bobcat within the game. Highlights include the “Night With Drow” and “Daughter of Selune” mods. The “Night With Drow” mod addresses a common player concern. Previously, romancing Minthara required players to attack the Emerald Grove, side against companions, and miss out on significant game content. This mod eliminates that moral dilemma, allowing players to pursue the romance without impacting alignment or sacrificing other story elements. Another notable inclusion is the “Daughter of Selune” mod. This allows characters to wield Dame Aylin’s weapons and armor, enabling players to customize their appearance on the battlefield with an aesthetic inspired by one of the game’s most iconic characters.

These additions bring much-needed variety to gameplay, offering innovative combat strategies and storylines, as noted on Reddit. The expanding modding landscape for Baldur’s Gate 3 on consoles promises a more personalized and diverse gameplay experience for all players.

| Official Name | Baldur's Gate 3 |
| Brief Summary | The land of Faerûn is in turmoil. Refugees cross the wilds, fleeing the helltorn stronghold of Elturel. A vicious cult marches across the Sword Coast, uniting every race of monsters and men under the banner of a cryptic god they call the Absolute. Chaos strikes at Faerûn's foundations, and none may escape its talons. Not even you.
The grotesque nautiloid ship appears out of nowhere, blotting out the sun. Its writhing tentacles snatch you from where you stand. The mind flayers have come, imprisoning you on their ship, infecting you with their horrid parasite. You will become one of them. By fate or fortune, you survive when the nautiloid crashes in the Sword Coast outlands. You set out for civilisation, desperate for a cure for the parasite festering in your brain, only to take centre stage in a conspiracy that runs as deep as the Nine Hells. New enemies await. As for old foes... the shadows stir. An ancient evil has returned to Baldur's Gate, intent on devouring it from the inside out. The fate of Faerun lies in your hands. Alone, you may resist. But together, you can overcome. |
