Long awaited by players across PC and consoles, crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3 with Patch 8! While a release date isn't set, a stress test in January 2025 will give select players early access to this and other new features.
When's Cross-Play Arriving?
Patch 8, the update introducing crossplay, lacks an official release date. However, a stress test in January 2025 will allow chosen players to experience crossplay functionality early. This test helps Larian Studios identify and fix bugs before the wider release.
How to Join the Patch 8 Stress Test
Want early access to Baldur's Gate 3's crossplay? Sign up for the Patch 8 Stress Test! It's open to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players.
Simply complete Larian's Stress Test registration form. You'll need a Larian account – create one or log in if you already have one. The form is quick and easy, requiring basic player information and your preferred platform.
Selection isn't guaranteed. Those chosen will receive an email with instructions and further details. Selected participants can provide feedback via forms and Discord.
The stress test also assesses the impact of Patch 8 on mods. Modders and frequent mod users should sign up to help ensure compatibility.
Remember: All players in your Baldur's Gate 3 group must register for the stress test to use crossplay during this period. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the full release sometime in 2025.
Baldur's Gate 3's continued popularity and strong community make the addition of crossplay a highly anticipated event, promising to unite even more players in the exploration of Faerûn.
