Baldur’s Gate 3 Dev Larian Wants Your Help Testing Patch 8

Larian Studios announced a January stress test for Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 8 via a Steam post. PC players can participate via Steam, while console players (Xbox and PlayStation) can also join. Mac and GOG users are excluded. Registration is currently open.

Larian aims to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and stability issues before its official release, emphasizing the importance of player participation in identifying problems. A key focus of the stress test is cross-play functionality, which Larian acknowledges has been a significant undertaking. Players are encouraged to recruit friends or find groups via the Larian Studios Discord server.

While Patch 8 marks the final major update, Larian reaffirmed its commitment to ongoing support, particularly for modders. Substantial future updates are planned, enhancing mod tools to empower players in creating their own Baldur's Gate 3 experiences. The impressive adoption of the mod tools, released in September, is highlighted by over 70 million module downloads and over 3,000 user-created mods.
