Baldur's Gate 3 cheats and console commands aren't built into the game, so you'll need to go third party if you want to set up hacks and cheats across Faerun and the Forgotten Realms. Mods are your best option here, though obviously that puts the advantage squarely on the PC crowd, with the console versions of Baldur's Gate 3 not particularly mod or cheat friendly for the time being. Still, there are options for some, and we'll go through all the various Baldur's Gate 3 cheats and mods and console commands (what few there are) available to players.
Baldur's Gate 3 PC Cheats and console commands
While Baldur's Gate 3 has no built-in cheats and console commands there are what are basically third-party programs or additional downloads that can edit the game. Obviously because these aren't official and are unsupported by Larian, you run the risk of potentially breaking the game so back up any saves before you risk anything.
These are the main cheat options currently for Baldur's Gate 3:
- NEXUS MODS. There are numerous cheat mods available at Nexus Mods, ranging from special overpowered items that give you an edge in combat and better manage the Baldur's Gate 3 difficulty, to increases stats and XP boosts, to a broad array of new Baldur's Gate 3 spells that allow you to have greater control of your game. Each cheat and mod tends to come with individual instructions on how to install it, so make sure to check those in advance.
- WEMOD. WeMod is an external trainer that can be used to modify the game in many ways to drastically increase how easy it is, with options including infinite carry capacity, god mode, XP boosts, stat adjustment, and even an option to make all dice rolls automatically succeed. It's basic, but comprehensive.
- CHEAT ENGINE. Cheat Engine is a more direct and versatile option that players can use to modify the game, but it's a little harder to use. You can download it and find tutorials about how it works at the link provided, then download a working .CT (cheat table) file for Baldur's Gate 3 specifically that allows you to mod it. Different sites and community members have different tables available that we can see, so look around to see what's available and has a good reputation.
So just to be clear here before you try anything: all alterations to the game with third party programs should be done at the player's own risk. These are community programs, nothing official, so there's never a guarantee about how they'll work, what they can do to the game files and even what you're actually putting on your hard drive.
You're probably best trying to enjoy the game as best you can, unaltered, before you mess around too much with anything that could ruin things. It's possible that changes could make some missions unplayable, or lead to game breaking bugs that could ruin your progress. Don't use any of these if you're not prepared to lose everything without warning.
Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Cheats and console commands
Obviously Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 cheats are extremely unlikely given the lack of support on PC. And mods and cheat engines clearly aren't anything console users can take advantage off. With ongoing PC launch support and the PS5 release still the priority for developer Larian, it's unlikely console commands or cheats will be added anytime soon, if at all - Larian's last game, Divinity Original Sin 2, didn't have console commands either. I'm guessing here, but I'd wager that the complexity of the interconnected D&D systems mean player controlled cheats and commands would just make everything fall apart.
