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 undergoing its stress test. While some Sony console players received early access, developers advise reinstalling the game for a clean stress test experience.

Patch 8 introduces highly anticipated cross-play functionality, bridging the gap between PC and console players. Players can team up across platforms provided they have linked Larian accounts. Remarkably, even modded games can utilize cross-play, provided all mods are compatible across PC, Mac, and consoles, and the host's mod count remains below ten.

Addressing a significant limitation, split-screen co-op is now being tested on the Xbox Series S. This marks a considerable improvement for users of this console.

Beyond multiplayer enhancements, Patch 8 boasts a fully customizable photo mode and twelve new subclasses, adding depth and variety to gameplay. Bug fixes and balance adjustments are also included, although some issues may persist. A complete changelog for the stress test is available on the game's official website.
