Players are still getting lots of mileage out of 2023’s Game of the Year. And while a series of updates adding dialogue options, expanding story pathways, and improving the game’s performance gave them plenty of reason to return to the Forgotten Realms, it’s the game’s most recent update that has proved the true staying power of Larian Studios’ instant classic.
In early September, PC and console versions of Baldur’s Gate 3 received in-game mod support via the game’s most ambitious free update to date. And in under two months, players have downloaded over 50 million mods, according to the Belgian developer. It’s an impressive number that proves players are still infatuated with the game a year and change after release.
