Baldur's Gate 3 News

Of course Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 will include all of the PC updates

If there's one strike against Baldur's Gate 3, it's that developer Larian Studios decided to release the game on PC a few weeks earlier than PS5, simply because it was ready. PS5 owners now have to wait a little while longer to play, but at least they're getting a big RPG to sink their teeth into in place of Starfield.

If you're in no rush to play it, however, you may be happy to learn that when Baldur's Gate 3 arrives on PS5 on September 6, it's going to be exactly as the PC version, in terms of updates. This was always expected, of course, but it doesn't hurt to get official confirmation from Larian.

The studio's director of publishing, Michael Douse, confirmed as much on Twitter when asked whether the PS5 version will be similar to PC.

There are a few mods already available for Baldur's Gate 3, 198 as of press time, and while some are the obligatory nudist mods and or ones that make your package bigger, there are some that help out in the gameplay department, and this mod is one of those.

One of these mods was created by Avalonica and it's available over on Nexus. It tweaks the game's maximum carry weight allowing you to carry around as much or as little as you like.

If you are tired of becoming encumbered and being forced to decide what to keep in your bags and what to ditch, you can easily fix that with this mod.

How do you pass the Baldur's Gate 3 Gauntlet of Shar trials? Deep in the Grand Mausoleum, past a few dodgy-looking portraits, you'll find the Gauntlet of Shar. Home to a portly necromancer with a troubling family situation and a small army of heavily-armed skeletons, this dungeon is a key location, not just for your overall objective, but for Shadowheart's companion story too.

There are plenty of dungeons to explore in Baldur's Gate 3 as we explain in our review, but the Gauntlet of Shar is one of the trickiest to get to grips with as there is a fairly deadly enemy presence, as well as several puzzles you have to solve in order to get where you need to go. These puzzles are named the Gauntlet of Shar trials and will test every aspect of your class. Assuming you've spoken to Balthazar, met his brother, and been surprised by Yurgir, there are only the trials left to beat - here's how they work, and how to complete them.

While visiting the Circus of Last Days in Baldur's Gate 3, you might have met the Djinni Akabi and tried your luck at his preposterously expensive Wheel of Wonders.
