Baldur's Gate's III Patch Progresses to Stress Test

Baldur's Gate III's eighth and potentially final major patch is undergoing a crucial stress test. While some Sony console players received early access, developers advise reinstalling the game for a clean experience before participating.

Patch 8 introduces several significant improvements. Cross-platform play is a highlight, enabling seamless gameplay between PC and console players with linked Larian accounts. Remarkably, modded games can also utilize crossplay, provided all mods are compatible across PC, Mac, and consoles, and the host's mod count remains below ten.

Xbox Series S users will finally experience split-screen co-op, a feature previously unavailable on that platform.

Further enhancements include a highly customizable photo mode and twelve new subclasses to enhance gameplay diversity. While Larian Studios has addressed numerous bugs and implemented balance adjustments, some issues may persist. A comprehensive changelog for the stress test is accessible on the game's official website.
