Gamersky reported on November 11, 2026, citing French games outlet Gameblog, that the console editions of Baldur’s Gate 3 have added 14 free mods at once on PS5 and Xbox Series.
According to the report, Larian Studios selected the mods from PC community creations and is offering them free to console players. Gameblog says that since Patch 8 in April 2025, Larian has stopped major updates for Baldur’s Gate 3, while still curating community mods and pushing them to consoles on a regular basis.
For console players, the batch supplies some community content already available on PC. Console mods are available only through official selection; players cannot install them freely as on PC, so each drop amounts to a small content expansion.
The additions focus mainly on classes and characters. A new Fiend Hunter class includes three subclasses and two new resources: Hatred, which drives special attacks, and Discipline, used for tactical actions. Sorcerers gain a death-patron subclass, Soul Reaper, built around shadow and soul.
The mod drawing the most attention for players who have already finished multiple playthroughs is Unnerfed Origins. As the report describes it, the mod restores some passive abilities that all origin characters and companions had before mind flayer tadpole infection:
- Astarion has advantage on saving throws against undead.
- Gale can cast illusion or enchantment spells as an action or a bonus action.
- Karlach has advantage against fiends.
- Lae’zel has advantage against aberrations.
- Minsc ignores physical resistance when attacking.
- Wyll has advantage against monster-type creatures.
The Dark Urge receives four exclusive additions: a consumable for devouring humanoid hearts, a passive that restores health while standing in blood, a reward for resisting the Urge, and a sword-and-shield set in an exclusive color scheme. Other changes strengthen Isobel’s survivability, bring Minsc in early during Act 1, and give Shadowheart an enhanced Elven Song stool.
On gameplay and difficulty, resurrection scrolls can now affect multiple downed allies. Grease gains a 2nd-level version that creates a larger grease slick, and another mod removes ritual casting to raise difficulty. A cosmetic mod replaces Gortash with a halfling version.
