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 will not have access. Registration is currently open.
Larian aims to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and stability issues before its official release. Crossplay functionality will be a key focus of the 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. Significant updates are planned, enhancing modding tools to allow for more expansive player-created content. Since September's release of official modding tools, player engagement has been substantial, with over 70 million module downloads and over 3,000 mods uploaded.
