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

by Elijah Jan 20,2025

Larian Studios announced on a Steam post that a stress test for Patch 8 will launch 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. Registration is currently open.

Larian plans to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and gameplay issues before its official release. They stated, "With your help, we’ll be able to keep an eye on any funny business," emphasizing the importance of community participation in identifying problems. A key focus of the stress test is crossplay functionality. Larian acknowledged the complexity of implementing crossplay in a game as large as Baldur's Gate 3 and requested player assistance in testing this new feature. They encourage players to share the registration link with friends or join the Larian Studios Discord Server to find groups for crossplay campaigns.

While Patch 8 marks the final major update for Baldur's Gate 3, Larian reaffirmed its commitment to ongoing support, particularly for modders. They highlighted upcoming significant updates to enhance modding capabilities, allowing players to create and share their own stories. Since the release of official mod tools in September, players have downloaded over 70 million modules and uploaded over 3,000 mods, showcasing the game's thriving modding community.
