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

Larian Studios announced on Steam that a stress test for Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 will begin in January. This test will be available on PC via Steam, and on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Mac and GOG users will not have access to this test build. Registration for the stress test is currently open.

Larian plans to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and gameplay issues before its official release. They're specifically seeking player assistance in identifying any problems, particularly with the new cross-play functionality. Implementing cross-play in a game as large as Baldur's Gate 3 presented significant challenges, and Larian is inviting players to help test this feature. Players are encouraged to share the registration link with friends or join a group via the Larian Studios Discord server.

While Patch 8 marks the final major update for Baldur's Gate 3, Larian reaffirmed their commitment to ongoing support for the game's modding community. Significant updates are planned to enhance modding tools, providing players with more capabilities to create and share their own stories. Since the release of official modding tools in September, players have already downloaded over 70 million modules and uploaded over 3,000 mods.
