Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 6 will Weigh in at 21 GB, Improve Party Management, Smooching, More
The next big update for Baldur’s Gate 3, Patch 6, is on its way and Larian is teasing some of the changes it will usher in. These include new Legendary Actions in Honour Mode, streamlined party management, the ability to prioritize your avatar as the “main speaker” so teammates won’t hog the conversation, and more. The patch will weigh in at a fairly meaty 21 GB, and will launch on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 simultaneously (Mac users will have to wait for a bit). Here’s a rundown of what Larian has teased for the patch thus far…

- Love is in the air in Faerûn, and we've made improvements to locking lips with your romantic partner! Releasing next week, Patch 6 includes improved smooches, new camp idle animations, new Legendary Actions in Honour Mode, and plenty of bug fixes.
- While a little exercise is good for the body, running back and forth between party members to dismiss them can be tiring - so you’ll now be able to dismiss a recruited companion from your party while speaking to the companion you want to replace them with!
- Plus, Shield Bash has returned home! Shield Bash and Rebuke of the Mighty have been fixed, which means your passives should now correctly trigger Saving Throws.
- We’re also here to help you practice some self-love this month, by making sure you’re the star of the show. With Patch 6, automatically triggered dialogue will now try to prioritise your avatar as the main speaker, so your party members should stop stealing the limelight!
Baldur’s Gate 3 can be played on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. We don’t have a specific release date for Patch 6 yet, but Larian implies it’s coming quite soon. Given the romantic theme of the update, it would make sense to release it on Valentine’s Day tomorrow, but perhaps they won’t quite hit that mark and you’ll have to go out on a real date instead of canoodling with virtual elves. Sorry.
