Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 PlayStation

Closed beta testing for Baldur's Gate 3's big Patch 7 has been delayed, meaning it will take even longer to arrive for players on PS5. Something caused the game's passive dice rolls to stop working in internal testing, obviously a problem in a game based on D&D. Thankfully, that's the bad news; the good is that developer Larian has further detailed some of the added extras coming to the expansive game.

Along with previously advertised upgrades to the split-screen experience, Honour Mode enhancements, cinematic ending sequences for evil characters, and a mod manager for community creations, a host of bug fixes, improvements, and additions have been promised.

Performance has been further optimised, reducing memory usage when loading initially, with a noticeable impact in more heavily trafficked areas and when managing large quantities of loot. Facial expressions during companion dialogue have been polished. Players firing up a fresh Custom Mode playthrough will be able to turn on Honour Mode mechanics for a little extra challenge without the crushing, permanent consequences.

Are you holding off on one final Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough, or if you have yet to take the plunge, have you considered seeing what all the fuss is about? Let us know in the comments section below.
