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

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. Registration is currently open.

Larian plans extensive testing to identify and resolve any instability or gameplay issues before the official release. Crossplay functionality will be a key focus of the stress test. The developer acknowledges the complexity of implementing crossplay in a game of Baldur's Gate 3's scale and encourages player participation. Players are invited to recruit friends or find groups through the Larian Studios Discord server.

While Patch 8 marks the final major update, Larian commits to ongoing support for modders, promising substantial future updates to enhance modding capabilities and storytelling options. Since the September release of official mod tools, player downloads have exceeded 70 million, with over 3,000 mods uploaded.
