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 now undergoing stress testing. While some Sony console players received early access, players not participating in the test are advised to reinstall the game.

Patch 8 introduces significant changes, most notably cross-platform play. Console and PC players can now team up, provided they have linked Larian accounts. Remarkably, even modded games can support crossplay, provided all mods are available across PC, Mac, and consoles, and the host's lobby doesn't have more than nine mods installed.

Multiplayer functionality sees a major boost with the addition of split-screen co-op on the Xbox Series S, a feature previously unavailable on this console.

Further enhancements include a highly customizable photo mode and twelve new subclasses, adding depth and variety to gameplay. Bug fixes and balancing adjustments are also included, although some issues may persist. A comprehensive changelog is available on the game's official website.
