Modding brings many players back to Baldur's Gate III

A couple of days have been enough to bring many players to Baldur's Gate III. The number of concurrent players in the game significantly increased this week after the release of Patch 7. The latest update to one of the most popular RPGs of all time has added many novelties, including new cinematic scenes for certain evil endings. These alone are enough to visit Baldur's Gate III once more and enjoy the endings in all of their glory. However, the second big addition of the new patch is the official modding tools for the game. These have contributed to removing all fears for those who were hesitant to customize their Baldur's Gate III experience with mods.

Astonishing numbers

More than one million mods were installed in Baldur's Gate III in just the first 24 hours after the patch was implemented. The average number of players in the game during the last few weeks was around 100,000, but the interest generated by the addition of mods and their endless possibilities when it comes to altering the game experience have made that number grow over the weekend. It's still too early to guess the impact of official modding support for Baldur's Gate III, but some are already speculating about the possibility of creating new campaigns outside of the original game. Although this is probably not intended by Larian, it would be interesting to see if Baldur's Gate III could expand in that way.

There are many popular games, like XCOM 2 and Battletech that have huge mods that totally alter the game experience, and they are as popular as the original game. In any case, we will have to wait a bit longer to find out if Larian allows for that type of heavy modding. Meanwhile, you have to stick to the current creations, whose number increases on a daily basis, offering more options than ever in a game that already stands out for the possibilities it offers in terms of gameplay.
