Modder ‘WestAard’ has just released a must-have HD Texture Pack for Baldur’s Gate 3, which is around 27GB in size. This pack will greatly enhance some of the low-res textures that players could find in this RPG. So, let’s take a closer look at it.

The BG3 Texture Upscale Project is 11GB in zipped form, and once you extract it, it will be around 27GB. To enhance the textures, the modder used AI tools. To be more precise, he upscaled most textures by four times. As such, the new textures retain the art style of the original ones.

WestAard did not go into more details about the textures featured in in this pack. From what I gathered, it covers most of the game’s textures, except for armors and clothes.

You can go ahead and download this HD Texture Pack from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find some comparison screenshots. These will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it. And, as you will see, this HD Texture Pack does bring a noticeable visual improvement.

For the ultimate BG3 modded experience, the modder also suggests using the following packs. By combining them, you will be able to overhaul all of the game’s textures.

   •  Upscaled Armour and Clothes Textures
   •  Vivid Landscapes – HD Ground and Terrain Textures
   •  Vivid Landscapes – Roads
   •  Vivid Landscapes – Water
   •  Vivid Landscapes – Fire and Ash

Now I know that a lot of PC gamers will be playing Baldur’s Gate 3 via its zoomed-out isometric viewpoint. And yes, with that viewpoint, you may not be able to notice the blurry textures. Still, these packs will do wonders for when you zoom in. Thus, I highly recommend downloading them.

Baldur’s Gate 3 came out in 2023 and took the industry by surprise. Larian has done a terrific job with it. So now, I’m curious to see what the studio’s next game will be. From what we know, it won’t be Baldur’s Gate 4. Still, let’s hope that it will be up to the standards that BG3 set.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
