Baldur's Gate 3 Stress Test with Crossplay: Early Access Now

For fans eagerly awaiting cross-platform play in Baldur's Gate 3, the wait is almost over! Patch 8 will finally introduce this highly anticipated feature. A stress test is planned for January 2025, giving select players early access to test crossplay and other Patch 8 improvements.

When Will Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay Launch?

While a firm release date for Patch 8 is still pending, the January 2025 stress test will provide a sneak peek at crossplay functionality for a limited group of players. This early access period allows Larian Studios to identify and address any potential bugs before the full release, ensuring a smoother experience for everyone.

How to Participate in the Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 Stress Test

To be among the first to experience Baldur's Gate 3's crossplay capabilities, register for the Patch 8 Stress Test. The test is open to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players.

Registration involves completing Larian's Stress Test sign-up form. You'll need a Larian account; create one or log in if you already have one. The form is simple and requires only basic information, including your preferred gaming platform.

Important Note: Registration doesn't guarantee selection. Those chosen will receive an email with further instructions. Selected participants can provide feedback via dedicated forms and Discord.

The stress test also aims to assess the patch's impact on mods. Mod users and developers are encouraged to participate to ensure compatibility.

Remember: Crossplay requires all players in your group to be part of the stress test. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the broader release in 2025.

Baldur's Gate 3's enduring popularity is a testament to its engaging gameplay and strong community. The addition of crossplay will undoubtedly bring even more players together to explore the world of Faerûn.
