It has been over a year since the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, and it was with Patch 7 that the fantasy RPG changed drastically thanks to the implementation of the official modding tool. If you needed a strong reason to start over with a new character, now you have it because you can customize the game to your liking with modding. The community is well aware of this, as a few weeks ago we reported that Larian Studios was surprised because in less than a day players had downloaded over 1 million mods for Baldur’s Gate 3.
However, players have gone even further with the infinite possibilities this modding tool offers. On the official Baldur’s Gate 3 X/Twitter account, Larian Studios published an infographic with some surprising data related to mods and what players are doing. “Mods have been available on console and Mac for less than a week, and you are already breaking records!” they mention from the Belgian studio.

Larian Studios thanks the creators of Baldur’s Gate 3 mods for their contribution to the RPG, something that has benefited both the studio and the community. “Thanks to the mod authors who have brought their creations to life using the BG3 Toolkit, and thanks to all the players who are now causing chaos in Faerûn,” they indicate. In this sense, Baldur’s Gate 3 publishing director Michael Douse expressed his amazement on X/Twitter with the statistics we will show you below. “We were surprised by the million, now we are surprised by the 22 million. I think we will never stop being surprised.”
