Baldur's Gate III Patch Undergoes Stress Test

Baldur's Gate III's eighth and potentially final major patch is undergoing its official stress test. While some Sony console players received early access, developers advise a game reinstall for those skipping the test.

Patch 8's standout feature is cross-platform play, uniting PC and console players. Friends across platforms can join, provided they have linked Larian accounts. Surprisingly, modded gameplay is also cross-compatible, but with limitations: all mods must be available across PC, Mac, and consoles, and the host's mod count shouldn't exceed ten.

Multiplayer receives a significant boost with the addition of split-screen co-op on Xbox Series S, a feature previously unavailable on this console.

Further enhancements in Patch 8 include a highly customizable photo mode and twelve new subclasses, enhancing replayability. Bug fixes and balance adjustments are also included, though some issues persist. A comprehensive changelog for the stress test is available on the game's official website.
