Long awaited by players across PC and consoles, crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3 with Patch 8! While a firm release date is pending, a Patch 8 Stress Test will offer select players early access to this and other features in January 2025. This test helps Larian Studios identify and fix bugs before the wider release.
When is Cross-Play Arriving?
Patch 8, including crossplay, doesn't have an official release date yet. The January 2025 Stress Test will be the first opportunity for a limited number of players to experience it.
How to Sign Up for the Patch 8 Stress Test
Want to be among the first to try Baldur's Gate 3's crossplay? Register for the Patch 8 Stress Test! The test is open to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players.
Simply complete Larian's Stress Test Registration. You'll need a Larian account; create one or log in if you already have one. The registration process is quick and easy, requiring basic player information, including your preferred platform.
Selection isn't guaranteed. Chosen participants will receive an email with further details and access instructions. Selected players will provide feedback via forms and Discord.
The Stress Test will also assess the patch's impact on mods. Mod users and creators should register to help ensure compatibility.
Remember: To play with friends using crossplay, everyone in your group must participate in the Stress Test. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for the full release sometime in 2025.
Baldur's Gate 3's enduring popularity and strong community make the addition of crossplay a highly anticipated event, promising to unite more players in the exploration of Faerûn.
