Larian Studios announced a January stress test for Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 8 via a Steam post. PC players can participate via Steam, while console players (Xbox and PlayStation) will also have access. Mac and GOG users are excluded. Registration is currently open.
Larian plans extensive testing to identify and address any bugs or gameplay issues before the official Patch 8 release. Cross-play functionality is a key focus of this stress test. The developer acknowledges the complexity of implementing cross-play in a game of Baldur's Gate 3's scale and encourages player participation. Players are invited to recruit friends or find groups via the Larian Studios Discord server.
While Patch 8 marks the final major update, Larian commits to ongoing support for modders. Significant future updates are planned, enhancing modding tools to empower players in creating their own narratives. The official mod tools, released in September, have already seen over 70 million module downloads and over 3,000 mod uploads.
