Larian Studios, the creative minds behind Baldur’s Gate 3, are ready to unveil their first major patch for the game, promising an impressive array of over one thousand “fixes and tweaks.”
Studio CEO and game director Swen Vincke recently shared insights into the studio’s commitment to enhancing the gameplay experience for all adventurers in this immersive role-playing realm.
Players have already witnessed Larian Studios’ dedication to addressing issues promptly. With three hotfixes already in place, approximately 700 issues have been tackled, including the eradication of a save-preventing glitch and the removal of unsolicited content that had found its way into the game.
Missing Pieces: Credits and Translators
One noteworthy addition coming in Patch 1 is the inclusion of the often-overlooked credits for translators. Larian Studios recognizes the importance of acknowledging the contributions of these language artisans who help bring the game to a global audience. This small but significant detail reflects Larian’s commitment to creating a comprehensive and polished gaming experience.
While Patch 1 holds exciting promises, Larian Studios has yet another hotfix up their sleeves before its official rollout. Although the timeline for these updates remains undisclosed, fans can rest assured that Larian’s dedication to refining the gameplay experience is unwavering. Game director Swen Vincke refrained from specifying exact release dates, but it’s safe to assume that the wait won’t be too prolonged.
Gratitude and Player Collaboration
We're all very enthused by your feedback. It's very rewarding. Our focus now is fixing any issues you report, but we are listening to suggestions. Current roadmap: a) Hotfix 4, b) Patch 1 (+1000 fixes and tweaks), c) Patch 2. The latter will already incorporate some requests.

Swen Vincke expressed his gratitude towards the enthusiastic players who have been actively contributing feedback since Baldur’s Gate 3’s full release on August 3rd. Vincke acknowledged, “Our focus right now is fixing any issues you report.” This interactive partnership between developers and players exemplifies Larian’s commitment to an ever-evolving and polished gaming world.
The excitement doesn’t end with Patch 1. Vincke alluded to the game’s major second patch, which “will already incorporate some requests.” Players can certainly look forward to some of their most anticipated features being realized within the game.
While Vincke didn’t reveal specific details, there’s hope that this might include the highly anticipated ability to modify your character’s appearance mid-game—a feature that has been fervently requested by the community.
As Larian Studios’ impressive journey with Baldur’s Gate 3 continues, players can anticipate a wealth of fixes, additions, and enhancements that promise to make their virtual adventures more captivating and immersive than ever before.
