The last major Baldur's Gate III patch entered the stress test stage

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

Patch 8 introduces highly anticipated cross-platform play between PC and consoles. Players with linked Larian accounts can team up regardless of platform. Even modded games can participate in 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 console.

Additional features in Patch 8 include a fully customizable photo mode and twelve new subclasses, adding depth and variety to gameplay. Bug fixes and balance adjustments are also included, though some issues may persist. A complete changelog for the stress test is available on the game's official website.
