Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the biggest games of the year, but it launched with its fair share of bugs. Luckily, developer Larian Studios has released two major patches to the game, and while the third was set to release today, it’s been delayed to tomorrow. In a post on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, the developers announced the patch would be delayed “to ensure thorough testing.” This is likely done to avoid the issue they ran into when they had to roll back a hotfix last month.
While we know the patch has been delayed, before now we didn’t have much of an idea of what that patch included. While specific bug fixes are still unknown, Larian tweeted about a new feature to expect tomorrow: the ability to change your character’s appearance. This includes details like pronouns, voice actor, and specific facial features, but notably does not allow you to change your race, which could alter the story depending on your choice.
With Patch 3 comes the Magic Mirror, which lives in your camp and allows you to change your Tav’s appearance whenever you’d like!

Even though the patch plans have been derailed, Baldur’s Gate 3 still launches on Mac today, so if you’ve been meaning to grab it on that platform, now’s the chance to do so. We’d highly recommend it, and you can read about why in our glowing review of the game. If you’ve been playing the game and enjoying it, maybe it’s a sign you should try D&D, the game it’s based on, as well.
