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 on PC and consoles (Xbox and PlayStation). Mac and GOG users will not have access. Registration is currently open.

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 seeks player assistance. Players are encouraged to register and invite 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 substantial future updates enhancing modding capabilities to facilitate player-created content. The September release of official mod tools has already resulted in over 70 million module downloads and over 3,000 user-uploaded mods.
