Everything Added In Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 5 Update - New Modes, Boss Changes, & Differences
Patch 5 delivers another batch of changes to the hit RPG, further expanding and improving an experience that has only continued to grow since its official release in August. As with the other major patches for the game, Patch 5 is a mix of everything from minor bug fixes to major additions, with the latter category receiving an arguably bigger boost now than ever before. It also takes up a whopping 30 GB of space, so it might be necessary to clear out some files before taking advantage of everything new.
Patch 5 follows less than a month after Patch 4, which made key quality of life improvements, like the addition of color-blind settings, along with quashing plenty of random issues, especially in the game's troublesome Act Three. For anyone underwhelmed by the lack of major overhauls in Patch 4, the newest additions are likely to please. As usual, it's always possible that some urgent issues have slipped through the cracks or will only arise after the new patch has gone live. Any such problems should be addressed through hotfixes, which take care of problems too pressing to wait for implementation in a full patch.
