Baldur’s Gate 3’s fifth patch will be out “soon”, but Larian Studios is already issuing warnings for our poor, worn, and tattered storage. Best clear some space, gamers. It’s a massive 30GB update, meaning you’ll need around 130GB of free space to install it.
If you find yourself without the space to install the update, we recommend uninstalling Baldur’s Gate 3 and then re-downloading the patched version.
It’s a beefy patch, but we still don’t know everything that will be included in those 30 gigabytes. So far, Larian has confirmed that it will fix some major lag issues and Astarion’s kisses, and it has teased an extended epilogue with an invite from Withers. The ending right now is shockingly fast – you beat the game, say goodbye, and off you pop. It looks like that’s about to change, with all of our (living) friends invited. Does that exclude Astarion? I guess we’ll find out “soon”.
It’s more than likely at this point that a big chunk of the update, hence its size, is thanks to this teased epilogue. However, what exactly it will look like isn’t clear. Last month, fans were asking Larian for one more party before the game ends to let them say goodbye to all of their favourites with final romance scenes to get closure before risking it all against the Absolute and plunging into the unknown. It might be that we see something similar to this idea after the game ends, instead.
Others are hoping for NG+, fixed Shadowheart kissing angles, more Minthara content, an extended Karlach quest, and all the other wishlist items we’ve seen since the game launched in August. Who knows what’s in there? Until Larian reveals the details, we can only speculate, but don’t get your hopes up too much. I know a lot of you want to be crushed by Minthara, but crushed dreams… Let’s avoid that, eh?
Larian said that the update will go live this week, and now we know that it’s coming “soon”. It’ll likely drop tomorrow, just in time for the weekend.
It hasn’t been confirmed, so don’t whip your pitchforks out if I’m wrong, but with three days left in the week, I like my odds.
