Baldur's Gate III's eighth and potentially final major patch is now undergoing stress testing. While some Sony console players received early access, players who haven't already participated are advised to reinstall the game for optimal testing.
Patch 8 introduces highly anticipated cross-platform play, uniting PC and console players. Players can join friends across different platforms provided they share a linked Larian account. Remarkably, even modded games can support cross-play, provided all mods are compatible across PC, Mac, and consoles, and the host's mod count remains below ten.
Addressing a significant request from the community, split-screen co-op is now being tested on the Xbox Series S, a feature previously unavailable on this platform.
Beyond multiplayer enhancements, Patch 8 boasts a fully customizable photo mode and twelve new subclasses, significantly expanding gameplay options. Numerous bug fixes and balance adjustments have also been implemented, although some issues may persist. A complete changelog for the stress test is accessible on the game's official website.
