Long awaited by players across PC and consoles, crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3 with Patch 8! While a firm release date is pending, a Patch 8 Stress Test in January 2025 will give select players early access to this highly anticipated feature.
When Can I Play Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay?
Patch 8, incorporating crossplay, lacks an official launch date. However, the January 2025 Stress Test will allow a limited number of players to experience crossplay and other Patch 8 enhancements ahead of the full release. This early access period helps Larian Studios identify and fix bugs, ensuring a smoother launch for everyone.
