Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 notes will be available here as soon as they are released. Currently, development of a new patch for the console and Mac is ongoing, without a set release date yet. Larian Studios has suggested that the postponement is a result of the extra submission procedures needed for these platforms.
