Today’s Baldur’s Gate 3 update 3 will introduce the Magic Mirror, allowing players to change their appearance and more.
The third major patch for Larian’s latest title was first planned to be released yesterday, but the team decided to delay the release of the patch in order to thoroughly test it first. As such, this new patch will now be released today for PC and PlayStation 5. Full patch notes will be shared upon release of the update, but Larian did share that it will include perhaps one of the most community-requested features – the ability to change appearance without the use of mods.
“Perhaps the most community-requested feature is coming with Patch 3, and thankfully you don’t even need The Surgeon to help you out with this”, Larian Studio’s Director of Publishing, Michael Douse, wrote on Twitter.
While the ‘Magic Mirror’, as the new feature is called, allows players to change appearance, voice, and pronouns, it doesn’t allow players to change body type and race. Also, Origins can’t be changed.
With Patch 3 comes the Magic Mirror, which lives in your camp and allows you to change your Tav’s appearance whenever you’d like!

We’re pretty sure that fans will be happy with this new feature coming with today’s patch. We’ll update you as soon as we learn more about Baldur’s Gate Update 3. For now, stay tuned.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is available worldwide digitally now for both PC and PlayStation 5. The Xbox Series X|S version is coming later this year. Want to know what we thought about Larian’s hit title in our launch review? Read it here. We’ve also included a short part from that review below:
“It’s been 22 years since Baldur’s Gate 2, and to this day, we still haven’t received a similarly engaging D&D computer role-playing game, despite plenty of other titles being great games on their own, such as the Divinity series by Larian Studios. The latest entry in the series cemented the Belgian studio’s reputation as one of the top RPG studios, giving them the chance to work with Wizards of the Coast to develop the highly anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3. After a long time in Early Access, the third entry in the series is finally out, but does it live up to the hype or even top its predecessors? The answer is a resounding yes.”
