Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 has an extremely dedicated modding community across PC and console, but the rise of custom campaigns using cracked map tools are adding massive new experiences on just PC. 

However, with a new custom campaign hitting the game’s first-party mod manager for the first time, it seems that console players may, one day, actually be able to experience entire campaigns as well. 

Baldur’s Gate 3 custom campaigns could come to console 

Created by modder Bib-qwerty-san, the Features from DnD 5E Spelljammer mod is a huge campaign overhaul that implements a number of features from Fifth Edition’s Spelljammer Sourcebooks. 

The custom campaign adds a tonne of additional encounters, spells and items to Baldur’s Gate 3. However, it also adds brand-new locations to the RPG. With custom campaigns typically not being allowed on the official mod manager, the Spelljammer mod is an outlier. 

After buying the Title Deed from Space item, you can teleport to Space Galleon in the Astral Sea to experience the brand-new campaign. Actually floating through the cosmos, the Space Galleon is a new camp that you can use as you travel throughout the new campaign and experience an all-new BG3 story. 

The Spelljammer mod is drop-dead gorgeous. Who wouldn’t want to live here?

At the time of writing, the Spelljammer custom campaign isn’t available on console. However, with the mod hitting the official Baldur’s Gate 3 mod manager there is now hope that, one day, this could happen. After all, custom campaigns weren’t supposed to be allowed on the official mod manager in the first place, but here we are. 

Other Baldur’s Gate 3 custom campaigns are also in the works by loads of talented fans across the world. One campaign, Path to Menzoberranzan, even aims to add an entire new party of characters to the game while other mods adapt World of Warcraft locations.
