Crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3! Patch 8, slated for release in 2025, will introduce this highly anticipated feature. Before the full launch, Larian Studios is hosting a Patch 8 Stress Test in January 2025, giving select players early access to crossplay and other new features.
When is Cross-Play Arriving?
While a precise release date for Patch 8 is yet to be announced, the January 2025 Stress Test will offer a sneak peek at crossplay functionality. This test phase allows Larian to identify and resolve potential bugs before the wider rollout.
How to Participate in the Stress Test:
To join the Patch 8 Stress Test and experience crossplay firsthand, register through Larian's Stress Test Registration form. You'll need a Larian account; create one or log in if you already have one. The registration process is quick and simple, requiring basic player information, including your preferred gaming platform (PC, PlayStation, or Xbox).
Remember, registration doesn't guarantee selection. Successful applicants will receive an email with further instructions. Participants will be able to provide valuable feedback on Patch 8 via feedback forms and Discord.
The Stress Test will also assess the compatibility of the new patch with existing mods. Mod users and developers are encouraged to participate to ensure a smooth transition for their creations.
Crucially, all players in your Baldur's Gate 3 group must be part of the Stress Test to utilize crossplay during this phase. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the full Patch 8 release.
The addition of crossplay to the already popular Baldur's Gate 3 is a significant step, promising to further strengthen the game's vibrant community and allow for even more collaborative adventures in Faerûn.
