Baldur’s Gate 3 Console Gets New Subclasses and Custom Class

Baldur's Gate 3 has received another wave of community-created content on console platforms, with 14 new mods now available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions. The latest batch includes two new subclasses, a custom class, and various cosmetic additions that expand player options and customization.

Larian Studios has been actively curating and approving user-generated mods for the console release, bringing some of the most popular creations from the PC version to a wider audience. The studio's efforts have already introduced significant additions, including a Nemesis System inspired by Shadow of Mordor, the ability to recruit any NPC as a playable character, and various quality-of-life improvements. With over 20,000 mods existing for the game on PC, Larian continues to identify standout creations worthy of console release.

Among the new additions, the Way of the Sword Saint introduces a fresh Monk subclass focused on weapon mastery that transcends standard limitations. The Wild Spring Barbarian subclass takes a different approach, blending Barbarian mechanics with Druid-like traits, including the ability to summon animals during combat. For those interested in narrative-driven roleplay, The Legend of Drizzt adds a custom class themed after the legendary drow Ranger character, complete with his iconic dual swords Icingdeath and Twinkle.

Beyond gameplay mechanics, the update includes several cosmetic enhancements. A new summer-themed collection adds beach-appropriate items such as straw hats and bikinis. Additional armor sets arrive under the names Nyx and Asgorath, catering to different character builds and playstyles. A new Midnight Sparkle outfit and Vigilantia light armor set designed for Rogues round out the cosmetic offerings. Character customization receives a boost through a new head preset for various races and over 5,000 additional facial expressions for Photo Mode.

The update also includes quality-of-life additions, such as new Cantrips for Paladins and a padded robe outfit for the character Gale. While this batch of content may not rival the scope of earlier additions like the Nemesis System, the new subclasses and custom class offer meaningful gameplay variety for both new and returning players.

Baldur's Gate 3 continues to maintain a strong player base nearly three years after its August 2023 release. The game achieved critical acclaim and commercial success, earning recognition as one of the best games ever made. Its status as one of the most-modded games of all time reflects the enduring appeal of its mechanics and world, with Larian's commitment to bringing curated mods to console ensuring that players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series can access some of the community's best creations.
