BG3 Patch 8 Seeks Community Collaboration

Larian Studios announced a January launch for the Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 stress test, accessible via Steam on PC and consoles (Xbox and PlayStation). Mac and GOG users are excluded. Registration is open now.

Larian plans extensive testing to identify and resolve any instability or gameplay issues before the official release. Crossplay functionality is a key focus of this stress test. The developer acknowledges the complexity of implementing crossplay in a game of Baldur's Gate 3's scale and encourages player participation. Players are invited to recruit friends or find groups via the Larian Studios Discord server.

While Patch 8 marks the final major update, Larian commits to ongoing support for modders, promising significant future updates and expanded modding tools to enhance storytelling capabilities. Since September's release of official mod tools, an impressive 70 million module downloads and over 3,000 mod uploads have been recorded.
