Baldur's Gate 3 console mod adds more than 300 cheat options

October 6, 2026·3 min read

Cheater's Menu is now available through Baldur's Gate 3's console Mod Manager with hundreds of controls for combat, items and progression.

Baldur's Gate 3 players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can now access more than 300 cheats through a newly approved console mod. Cheater's Menu, created by ForKiramay, has passed Larian Studios' console curation process and can be installed through the game's built-in Mod Manager.

The mod includes God Mode, free respecs, instant experience, item spawning and manipulated dice rolls. It works with both new campaigns and existing saves without requiring Script Extender.

Installing the mod adds a Cheater's Menu spell to the player's hotbar. Casting it opens an interface with 10 pages of controls covering characters, combat, items, spells and other parts of a campaign.

Players can fully heal party members, restore actions and spell slots, revive companions or instantly gain enough experience to reach the maximum level. The menu can also provide gold, remove negative effects and let characters respec without returning to Withers.

Dice rolls can be changed as well. Players can add large bonuses or force critical successes, while God Mode can make individual characters effectively invulnerable.

Players can spawn items and unlock spells

Cheater's Menu includes tools for adding equipment and other items without finding them normally. Its search system lets players look through available items and place specific equipment directly into their inventories.

Players can also unlock large spell libraries and gain all 22 Illithid powers. Waypoints across Acts 1, 2 and 3 can be unlocked as well, making it easier to move through the campaign quickly.

Cheats can also make combat harder

Not every option is designed to reduce difficulty. The mod includes enemy controls that can increase hostile creatures' health, damage and available actions.

Other settings can instantly kill nearby enemies or pacify them to end combat. Crime-related options can also remove existing offenses or stop NPCs from reacting to crimes.

That makes the mod useful for experimentation as well as traditional cheating. Players can test builds, try unusual equipment combinations or create harder custom challenge runs.

Console mods still have restrictions

Larian introduced official console mod support with Patch 7, but console users can only install mods that pass the studio's curation process. Cheater's Menu is therefore approved for console distribution, although it remains a community-made mod rather than an official Larian cheat feature.

Using mods also disables platform achievements for that playthrough. Larian warns that community mods can cause crashes, interface problems or other unexpected issues after updates.

Cheater's Menu is available now through the in-game Mod Manager on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Players can enable it for a save and access its more than 300 options through the new hotbar spell.
Baldur's Gate III

An ancient evil has returned to Baldur's Gate, intent on devouring it from the inside out. The fate of Faerun lies in your hands. Alone, you may resist. But together, you can overcome.
