Are there Baldur's Gate 3 cheats?

Readers curious as to whether there are any Baldur's Gate 3 cheats will be left sorely disappointed. Developer Larian Studios has not enabled any sort of cheat command or console within the game. Given the resurgence of cheats and console commands in recent titles, this does seem like a missed opportunity to let players experiment with the game's AI and craft some unique experiences of their own.

That said, it is still possible to enable a degree of cheat functionality using certain mods. A breakdown of the Baldur's Gate 3 cheat situation can be found below, along with alternative mods to try out instead.

Developer Larian Studios has unfortunately not enabled any Baldur's Gate 3 cheats as of this writing. There are also no plans to include them later down the road, which is made worse by the fact that the developer has no plans for any sort of post-launch content (in the form of a DLC) either.

The lack of cheats is certainly disappointing, but understandable.

Players can rest easy knowing that the usage of cheats will not result in a ban of any sort. Cheats do, however, fall into a grey area - especially when taking fair play into account. They can also unintentionally break certain parts of the game, which is something to keep in mind.

Overall, players are free to experiment on their own and decide whether these cheats are worth using.
