Console Players of Baldur’s Gate 3 Restricted to 100 Mods Per Save File

Baldur’s Gate 3 was not just a standout game for 2023; it secured its place among the top RPGs and video games in recent history. Dive into what Larian Studios has developed, and you’ll find an adventure that captivates without a single tweak.

However, let’s be real—where’s the excitement in sticking to the script? The real thrill comes when you mold your character into a quirky Shrek lookalike, throw in a random Thomas the Tank Engine cameo, and tweak the gameplay to suit your whims—or rely on mods crafted by like-minded gamers who share your vision.

These modifications have made their way to consoles as well, and that’s a testament to Larian’s ingenuity. However, even their wizardry has its boundaries when it comes to modding on consoles.

In a recent discussion about console mods, Aoife Wilson, a senior communications developer at Larian, shed light on some limitations. The studio has reached a ceiling regarding the number of mods that can be active at once on console saves while keeping Baldur’s Gate 3 operating smoothly.

Consequently, console players must manage a maximum of 100 mods per save file. This is a crucial detail, especially if you switch between PC and console via cross-save functionality. If you have more than 100 mods enabled on your PC version, your console won’t support it—at least for now, as per Larian’s team.

For those creating mods for both PC and console users, there’s an entire submission process to navigate for console approval, as Wilson outlines.
