Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 Details

With the upcoming Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8, Larian will release stress test in order to ensure a smooth launch and crossplay features.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 Features

Patch 8 for Baldur’s Gate 3 is set to be a huge one for the title, as it has some major features, like a fully customizable Photo Mode and 12 new subclasses for all the current classes within the game. Players can now build a Death Cleric, Arcane Archer, a Drunken Master Monk, and much more. However, Patch 8 also sees the addition of Crossplay, allowing players from any platform to adventure together. However, with an undertaking such as this, Larian is asking for player help.

However, Larian has admitted that bringing crossplay into a game like Baldur’s Gate 3 has not been easy. In a final, end of year, blog update, Larian gave fans a glimpse into what to expect, while also thanking the community for their support in helping Baldur’s Gate 3 win another award at The Game Awards 2024. Alongside a daily advent calendar fans can participate in to unlock rewards, Larian announced that the team is working on a new stress test build for Patch 8, set to go live in January.

Players on Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation versions of Baldur’s Gate 3 can now sign up to take part in January’s test, which aims to find any possible issues or instability problems ahead of Patch 8’s launch. Larian is also hopeful that supported Baldur’s Gate 3 mods will remain free of issues, but is looking for feedback should anything happen during the test. It’s worth noting that not everyone will be admitted to the test, so registering does not guarantee access. Larian is planning to roll out invites in waves, and players can share their experience online as long as they indicate it is from the playtest version.

Most likely Patch 8 will be the last patch for Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian probably move on to new projects.
