​Community Update #35 Baldur’s Gate 3 Turns Two     ​

Happy birthday, gang! Baldur’s Gate 3 turns two – hard to believe, isn’t it?It feels like only yesterday we were streaming our launch-day Panel From Hell from a cathedral in Ghent and earning a TikTok ban in the process for our druidic love crimes.But time flies. Two years later, Baldur’s Gate 3 has grown into something far beyond what we could have ever imagined back then – it’s become a shared universe shaped just as much by your imaginations as ours. You’ve embraced the characters, rewritten the rules, and made the world your own – and it’s been a joy to watch.Swen’s shared words couldn’t ring more true, and while we’ll spare you our soppy sentimentality, because of Baldur’s Gate 3 and your love for the game, we can now bring you a whole new craziness that we hope you will love just as much.So let’s celebrate the story so far with the only thing more powerful than magic: cold, hard stats.2 Years of Baldur’s Gate 3Since the introduction of mod support in September 2024, you’ve uploaded over 8,500 mods to http://mod.io and hit 265 MILLION mod downloads (of which, over 250,000 of all downloads are Withers Big Naturals by the way – we just thought you’d like to know.).  We love seeing what you create, and the recent Modathon held by The BG3 Modding Community last month was no exception. The month-long community-run modding event saw 85 mod authors create over 160 new mods that have been downloaded over 150,000 times! Whether you’ve been hankering for an ability that lets you feed Gale his own magically enchanted underwear, or a pair of wearable whittled duck earrings, you can check out the full list of mods available in-game by clicking here or filtering the search with the Modathon filter option. A big congratulations to everyone involved, from the organisation to the achievements awarded!You’ve raised the bar with every mod, and we want to match that energy. That’s why we’re working on expanding the official toolkit to give you even more freedom. More on that soon! In the meantime, tag us in your creations @larianstudios and share your creations with us in the official Larian Studios Discord server!Baldur’s Gate 3 In NumbersAfter celebrating the big numbers last year, we’re sharing some of the smaller stats, because honestly, does size really matter? Check out the rare achievements and the even rarer choices that you’ve been making in-game.With the way you keep asking about goblin romance, we’d have expected more of you to rescue Sazza from all her predicaments, just saying.Approach with caution, there may be spoilers ahead!Of the half a million masochists brave heroes who finished the game in Honour Mode, a few of you decided to go about it in creative ways: We released Patch 8 (The Final Patch) in April this year, bringing you both cross-play, a photo mode, and 12 new subclasses, which we can only assume sparked many an argument between friends about whether Shadowheart gives Life Cleric or Death Cleri
