Baldur's Gate 3 mod support is coming in September
What is the phased rollout plan for the official mod support in Baldur's Gate 3 as announced by Larian Studios?
Larian Studios has announced a phased rollout plan for the official mod support in Baldur's Gate 3. The rollout will start with a closed alpha, which begins today, June 3rd, where a small team of mod authors from the community will help further develop the modding tools. The closed alpha will be followed by a closed beta in July, which will be capped at around 1,000 participants6. Finally, the official release of Patch 7 in September will introduce the officially sanctioned toolkit for modding. This staggered testing approach will give the community ample time to test the new mod tools before making them available across PC and consoles.

How does Larian Studios' mod support approach for Baldur's Gate 3 compare to their previous implementations in games like Skyrim or Fallout?
Larian Studios' mod support approach for Baldur's Gate 3 is similar to the approach taken in games like Skyrim or Fallout. The process involves testing mods on PC for terms of service compatibility and overall stability before approving them. Approved mods then undergo additional approvals before becoming available on consoles.
PC players will have access to the full suite of mod creation tools, while console players will only be able to browse and install mods officially approved by Larian. This staggered testing approach aims to ensure mod compatibility and stability across platforms.
