Pacts aren't subclasses they are another choice in Warlock progression.

Your subclasses are your choice of Patrons: At first level you pick Fiend, Great Old One, or Fey

At 3rd level Warlocks can further customize their class by choosing a Pact. Pact of the Blade, Pact of the Tome or Pact of the Chain.

Currently in Early Access we've had two subclasses, Fiend and Great Old One, but only one Pact has ever been available, the Pact of the Chain.
Pact of the Blade does not work without The Hexblade subclass/patron(not to be confused with the Hex spell) because that patron enables the Pact of the Blade weapon to use your warlock's charisma modifier and therefore be effective...that subclass is not in BG3. What that means is that this would be a worthless pact incompatible with BG3 warlocks because it would require significant investment into strength to make the weapon work.
Larian might hombrew fix that like they've done with monks and paladins
