Baldur’s Gate 3 Dev Larian Wants Your Help Testing Patch 8

Larian Studios announced a January launch for the Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 stress test, accessible via Steam (PC) and consoles (Xbox, PlayStation). Mac and GOG users will not participate. Registration is open.

Larian plans extensive testing to identify and address instability and gameplay issues before the official release. Cross-play functionality is a key focus of this stress test. The developer acknowledges the complexity of implementing cross-play in a game of Baldur's Gate 3's scale and encourages player participation. Players are invited to recruit friends or join 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 enhanced modding tools to empower player storytelling. Since September's release of official mod tools, over 70 million modules have been downloaded, and over 3,000 mods uploaded.
