BG3 Dev Seeks Community Feedback for Patch 8

Larian Studios announced on a Steam post that a stress test for Patch 8 of Baldur's Gate 3 is planned for January. This test will be available on PC via Steam, and on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Mac and GOG users will not have access to this test build. Registration is currently open.

Larian intends to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and gameplay issues before its official release. The developer explicitly stated their intention to "rigorously" test for stability problems. Cross-play functionality is a key component of this stress test.

"Bringing crossplay to a game the scale of Baldur’s Gate 3 has been challenging," Larian explained, "and we need your assistance in testing this new feature." They encouraged players to share the registration link with friends or join groups on the Larian Studios Discord server for collaborative cross-play testing.

Although Patch 8 marks the final major update for Baldur's Gate 3, Larian committed to ongoing support for modders, promising significant future updates to enhance modding capabilities and empower players to create their own narratives. Since the release of the official modding tools in September, players have downloaded over 70 million modules and uploaded over 3,000 mods.
