Larian Studios announced a January launch for the Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 stress test, accessible via Steam on PC and consoles (Xbox and PlayStation). Mac and GOG users will not have access to this test build. Registration is now open.
Larian plans extensive testing to identify and address any instability or gameplay issues before the official Patch 8 release. They specifically highlighted the importance of cross-play testing, acknowledging the complexity of implementing this feature in a game of Baldur's Gate 3's scale. Players are encouraged to register and participate, either with friends or by joining groups via the Larian Studios Discord server.
While Patch 8 marks the final major update, Larian reaffirmed their commitment to ongoing support, particularly for the modding community. Significant updates are planned to enhance modding capabilities, enabling players to craft their own narratives. The official mod tools, released in September, have already seen over 70 million module downloads and over 3,000 mod uploads.
