Attention Baldur's Gate 3 players: Get ready to free up some substantial hard drive space because Patch 5 is coming and it's massive. The new patch itself is a hefty 30GB download, but you'll need a whopping 130GB of free space to install it. Larian Studios has suggested that those without enough space should consider uninstalling the game and then redownloading the entire game with the patch included.

This update isn’t just about size—it’s set to enhance the gaming experience significantly, promising an epilogue featuring the fan-favorite character Withers. It also addresses the slowing down issues encountered in Act 3. The studio has expressed its pride in the new changes, hinting at major performance improvements not just for PC but for PS5 as well, thanks to optimization efforts originally meant for the Xbox version.

Hot on the heels of multiple awards and nominations at prestigious gaming events, Larian Studios isn't just resting on its laurels. With the commercial and critical success of Baldur's Gate 3's release, which received top scores for its deep RPG mechanics and compelling story, the studio is now teasing an announcement for the Xbox version's release date at the upcoming Game Awards. They're also hinting at an entirely new project in the works.

For those deeply invested in the Baldur's Gate series or just looking for an expansive and polished gaming experience, Patch 5 seems to be an essential and exciting update, despite its daunting size requirements. Stay tuned for more details and prepare your systems for a significant but promising download.
