Massive Update Brings Cross-Play, Photo Mode & Game-Changing Subclasses

Baldur's Gate 3's upcoming Patch #8 stands as potentially the most significant update yet, introducing groundbreaking features including cross-platform multiplayer functionality, an integrated photo mode, and twelve completely new subclasses. Larian Studios recently unveiled footage highlighting four of these additions: the mesmerizing Bard (College of Enchantment), towering Barbarian (Path of the Giant), ominous Cleric (Death Domain), and celestial Druid (Circle of Stars).

Testing Phase Expands Ahead of Final Patch

Currently undergoing extensive stress-testing with additional participant slots available, Patch #8 maintains intense community anticipation while keeping its official launch date undisclosed. Developer engagement continues through preview content like this initial subclass showcase video, which marks the first installment in a three-part series examining all twelve upcoming additions.

Two subsequent trailers will reveal the remaining eight subclasses, allowing players ample preparation time for these transformative gameplay elements. The current testing phase launched in January alongside a substantial update that debuted the photo mode feature. As Baldur's Gate 3's concluding major patch, #8 represents the culmination of Larian's post-release development efforts - leaving players speculating about future possibilities.
