Join Baldur's Gate 3 Stress Test: Crossplay Now Live

Crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3! Patch 8, slated for release sometime in 2025, will introduce this highly anticipated feature, uniting PC and console players. Before the full release, Larian Studios is conducting a Patch 8 Stress Test in January 2025, giving select players early access to crossplay and other new features.

When Will Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay Launch?

While a precise date for Patch 8 remains unannounced, the January 2025 Stress Test will offer a sneak peek at crossplay functionality. This test phase allows Larian to identify and address potential bugs before the wider rollout.

How to Participate in the Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 Stress Test

To potentially join the Stress Test and experience crossplay early, register through Larian's Stress Test signup form. A Larian account is required. The registration process is simple and quick, requiring basic player information, including your preferred gaming platform (PC, PlayStation, or Xbox).

Selection for the Stress Test isn't guaranteed. Successful applicants will receive an email with further instructions. Participants will have the opportunity to provide valuable feedback via feedback forms and Discord. The Stress Test will also assess the compatibility of the new patch with various mods.

Important Note: Crossplay functionality during the Stress Test requires all players in your group to be participating in the test. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the full Patch 8 release.

The addition of crossplay to Baldur's Gate 3 is a significant step, promising to further expand the game's already thriving community and allowing more players to explore the world of Faerûn together.
