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, as well as Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Mac and GOG users will not have access to this stress test. Registration is currently open.

Larian plans to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and gameplay issues before its official release. They're particularly focused on testing the new cross-play functionality, noting the significant challenge of implementing cross-play in a game of Baldur's Gate 3's scale. Players are encouraged to register and participate, either with friends or by joining groups on the Larian Studios Discord server.

While Patch 8 represents the final major update for Baldur's Gate 3, Larian confirmed continued support for modders. Substantial updates are planned to enhance modding capabilities, allowing players greater freedom to create and share their own stories. Since the September release of official modding tools, players have downloaded over 70 million modules and uploaded over 3,000 mods.
