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 is planned for January. PC players can participate via Steam, while console players on Xbox and PlayStation will also have access. Mac and GOG users are excluded from this test. Registration is currently open.

Larian aims to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and gameplay issues before its official release. They're actively seeking player assistance in identifying any problems. A key focus of the stress test is cross-play functionality, a significant undertaking for a game of Baldur's Gate 3's scale. Larian encourages players to register and invite friends to participate in cross-play campaigns, or to find groups on the Larian Studios Discord server.

Although Patch 8 marks the final major update for Baldur's Gate 3, Larian confirmed continued support for modders, promising substantial future updates to enhance modding capabilities and allow players to create their own narratives. Since the September release of official modding tools, players have downloaded over 70 million modules and uploaded over 3,000 mods.
