If you thought the only thing to be afraid of in Baldur’s Gate 3 was that mind flayer worm squirming in your brain, Larian Studios has just upped the ante. Patch 7 is now live on consoles and Mac, and it’s introducing some of the game’s darkest turns yet with brand-new “Evil Endings.” That’s right—players who prefer to let their inner villain shine are in for an especially twisted treat.
For those who have been sinking hours into the game (and really, who hasn’t at this point?), this latest patch integrates these endings seamlessly, while also teasing some jaw-dropping surprises for those who fully commit to the darker paths. Without getting too spoilery, expect some of the most morally challenging choices yet—perfect for the chaotic evil players out there who just can’t be bothered with saving the day.
But that’s not all this patch is dishing out. Mac and console players will also notice a beautifully enhanced split-screen experience. If you’ve been playing co-op with a buddy, this is a pretty big deal. Larian has reworked how split-screen operates, making it smoother, more seamless, and, most importantly, less prone to those weird jitters that could sometimes take you out of the experience. Whether you’re playing on your shiny PS5 or your trusty Mac, it should feel like a major improvement.
Now here’s something that’ll get the BG3 community buzzing even louder: Patch 7 introduces a curated selection of in-game mods—created by none other than the game’s passionate modding community. Larian Studios has always had an open-armed approach to modders, and this feels like a full-blown celebration of what players are capable of building themselves.
The mods added in this patch have been handpicked by Larian and integrated into the game for everyone to enjoy without the hassle of downloading third-party apps. While details on the specific mods in this curated list are still trickling in, the variety will likely span from quality-of-life improvements to some wackier features, all with the Larian seal of approval.
If you’re new to BG3 or just a little hesitant about modding in general, this is a perfect way to ease into the world of community-created content. Plus, it’s a great move by Larian; they’re giving a nod to the players who’ve kept the game alive with fresh ideas while making sure everyone benefits from it.
With the Evil Endings teasing darker playthroughs, it might be tempting to just dive headfirst into the chaos—but be warned, things can get tricky if you’re not careful. Here are some quick tips for surviving, and thriving, in this post-patch world:
