Larian has already surpassed all expectations with the current version of Baldur's Gate 3 on PC and consoles but the studio isn't done adding new content yet. This year, the game will be getting official mod support, which will be cross-platform compatible, enabling console players to install mods for the first time.

PC players will already have access to a wealth of mods for the game via sites like Nexusmods. For now, console players are missing out on that content but as confirmed by Larian this week, they've been working on cross-platform mod support, which I imagine will work similarly to the cross-platform mods available for Bethesda games like Fallout 4 and Skyrim.

We generally don’t talk about things til they’re ready, but as you may have read, we’re making an exception. 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. https://t.co/54GsxNshlQ

This update should also come with official mod tools, which will hopefully include an editor to allow users to create their own quests but we'll have to wait and see.

The system Larian has built still needs to be tested, so it could be a few months before this is all ready to roll out to the public.

KitGuru Says: Official mod support is coming and hopefully that also means tools for more comprehensive mods. Given its popularity, Baldur's Gate 3 will likely stand the test of time anyway, but as we've seen with games like Skyrim, a healthy modding community can only enhance the longevity of the game.
