The game’s latest update, patch 7, is only further testament to its dedication to refining the already-hailed masterpiece. Not only does it bring further gameplay enhancement, but it also introduces an absolutely delightful modernization of split-screen co-op. There’s only one small issue with the patch that will most certainly leave a few console players jealous of the PC Master Race.

No one can deny that Baldur’s Gate 3, along with its developers, is a gift that keeps on giving, with the game only getting better with every innovative update.

Patch 7 is a prime example of the same, which aims to bring a fresh approach to split-screen sessions, setting yet another new standard for CRPGs. The revamped system now allows the players’ display to dynamically merge or split based on their proximity to one another.

Not only will this result in more immersive cooperative runs, but it will also ensure that players can better coordinate and engage with different scenarios accordingly.

It’s a great way to experience this game’s magic, but what’s the cherry on top is the addition of the Mod Manager and the Baldur’s Gate 3 toolkit, which would enable players to browse and manage mods directly from within the game, provided those mods are created using the Toolkit.

The only catch, is that due to the sheer effort required in implementation of these features, Patch 7 will be delayed for console and Mac users to the month of Halloween. Not only that, but it appears that cross-saves will be non-functional till the patch arrives on all platforms.

Although the extended wait has caused a slight disappointment among console and Mac gamers, who are eager to experience the game’s latest features, at the very least, all players get to experience all that Patch 7 has to offer within a month.

It remains to be seen what that next game will be. Still, given this studio’s incredible track record, even if it takes a while, once it comes out, it is sure to send some good old shockwaves across the industry.
