Larian Studios announced on a Steam post that a stress test for Patch 8 will begin in January. This test will be available on PC via Steam, and on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Mac and GOG users will not have access to this stress test. Registration for the test is currently open.
Larian plans to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and gameplay issues before its official release. The developer stated they need player assistance to identify any problems, particularly with the new crossplay functionality. Implementing crossplay in a game as large as Baldur's Gate 3 has presented significant challenges, and Larian is inviting players to help test this feature. Players are encouraged to share the registration link with friends or join a group on the Larian Studios Discord server.
While Patch 8 marks the final major update for Baldur's Gate 3, Larian has committed to ongoing support for modders. Further updates are planned to enhance modding capabilities, allowing players to create and share their own stories. Since the release of official mod tools in September, players have downloaded over 70 million modules and uploaded over 3,000 mods.
