Crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3! Patch 8, slated for release in 2025, will introduce this highly anticipated feature, uniting PC and console players. Before the full launch, Larian Studios is conducting a Patch 8 Stress Test in January 2025, giving select players early access.
When Will Crossplay Arrive?
While a precise release date for Patch 8 remains unannounced, the January 2025 stress test will offer a sneak peek at crossplay functionality. This test period allows Larian to identify and address potential bugs before the wider release.
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 to access the registration. The simple form requires basic player information, including your preferred gaming platform (PC, PlayStation, or Xbox).
Selection for the stress test isn't guaranteed. Chosen participants will receive an email with further instructions and access details. Feedback will be collected through dedicated forms and Discord.
The stress test also aims to assess the impact of Patch 8 on various mods. Mod users and creators are encouraged to participate to ensure compatibility.
Remember: All players in your Baldur's Gate 3 group must register for the stress test to utilize crossplay during this period. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the official Patch 8 launch in 2025.
Baldur's Gate 3's enduring popularity and strong community make the addition of crossplay a significant event, promising to connect even more players in the world of Faerûn.
