Baldur's Gate III Patch in Stress Testing

The final stress test for Baldur's Gate III's eighth (and potentially last) major update is now underway. While some PlayStation players received early access, developers advise others to reinstall the game if they wish to avoid testing this version.

Crossplay Takes Center Stage

Patch 8's flagship feature enables true cross-platform play between console and PC users. Gamers can now team up with friends across different systems by linking their Larian accounts. Even modded sessions support crossplay with two key requirements: all PC mods must have console/Mac equivalents, and the host's mod collection can't exceed nine active modifications.

Xbox Series S Breakthrough

The update brings a highly anticipated addition - split-screen cooperative mode finally arrives on Xbox Series S. This resolves a longstanding limitation for owners of Microsoft's more affordable console variant.

Enhanced Gameplay Features

Players can look forward to an in-depth photo mode with extensive customization tools and twelve fresh subclasses that diversify character builds. While Larian has fixed numerous bugs and adjusted balance issues, some known problems persist. Complete patch notes for the current test build are available on the official game page.
