Baldur’s Gate 3 Dev Larian Wants Your Help Testing Patch 8

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

Larian plans to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and gameplay issues before its official release. They're specifically seeking player assistance to identify any problems, particularly concerning the new cross-play functionality. Implementing cross-play in a game as large as Baldur's Gate 3 has presented significant challenges, and Larian is encouraging players to participate in the stress test to help refine this feature. Players are invited to share the registration link with friends or join groups on the Larian Studios Discord server.

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