Baldur's Gate 3's highly anticipated crossplay feature is finally arriving with Patch 8! While a firm release date is yet to be announced, a Patch 8 stress test offering early access to crossplay and other new features will launch in January 2025. This test allows Larian Studios to identify and fix bugs before the wider release.
When Can I Play Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay?
The crossplay functionality will debut during the Patch 8 stress test in January 2025 for select players. Following this period, a full release is expected sometime in 2025.
How to Participate in the Patch 8 Stress Test:
To join the stress test and experience crossplay early, register through Larian's Stress Test Registration form. You'll need a Larian account. The registration process is quick and simple, requiring basic information including your preferred gaming platform (PC, PlayStation, or Xbox).
Selection for the stress test isn't guaranteed. Successful applicants will receive an email with instructions on how to participate. Participants will be able to provide valuable feedback through dedicated forms and Discord.
This stress test is crucial for assessing the impact of Patch 8 on mods, so mod users are also encouraged to sign up. Remember, all players in your group must be part of the stress test to utilize the crossplay feature. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the full release.
The addition of crossplay to this already popular game is exciting news for the Baldur's Gate 3 community, promising to unite players across different platforms and further enhance the Faerûn adventure.
