Larian Studios announced a January launch for the Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 stress test, accessible via Steam on PC and consoles (Xbox and PlayStation). Mac and GOG users will not have access to this test build. Registration is currently open.
Larian aims to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and stability issues before its official release. Crossplay functionality is a key focus of the stress test. The developer acknowledges the significant challenge of implementing crossplay in a game of Baldur's Gate 3's scale and encourages player participation. Players are invited to register and recruit friends or join groups via the Larian Studios Discord server.
While Patch 8 marks the final major update, Larian reaffirms its commitment to ongoing support for the game's modding community. Substantial future updates are planned, enhancing modding tools to facilitate richer player-created content. Since September's release of official mod tools, the community has already downloaded over 70 million modules and uploaded over 3,000 mods.
