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

Larian Studios announced on Steam that a stress test for Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 will begin in January. This test will be available on PC via Steam, as well as Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Mac and GOG users will not be included in this test. Registration for the stress test is currently open.

Larian plans to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and gameplay issues before its official release. They're particularly focused on testing the cross-play functionality, a significant undertaking given the game's scale. Players are encouraged to register and participate, either with friends or by finding groups through the Larian Studios Discord server.

Although Patch 8 marks the final major update for Baldur's Gate 3, Larian committed to ongoing support for modders. Substantial future updates are planned to expand modding capabilities, enabling players to create and share their own narratives. The official mod tools, released in September, have already seen over 70 million downloads and over 3,000 user-created mods uploaded.
