Baldur's Gate 3 free update released with tons of major improvements

Good news, everyone: Baldur's Gate 3's latest update is available to download now, after previously being released and then rolled back after it turned out it was crashing people's games.

Developer Larian Studios has been hard at work patching Baldur's Gate 3 on PC since it launched earlier this month. It's not that the game is straight-up broken or unplayable, it's just that a title of this scope, scale, and ambition inevitably will continue to run into a few issues now it's in the hands of millions of players around the world.

The good news is that after a slight hiccup, Baldur's Gate 3's latest hotfix is available for you to download. In a post over on Steam Larian apologised for the initial issues with the latest patch and has pledged to change the way they approach updates so it doesn't happen again.
