Baldur's Gate 3's highly anticipated crossplay feature is finally arriving with Patch 8! While a precise release date remains unannounced, a Patch 8 Stress Test in January 2025 will give select players early access. This test allows Larian Studios to identify and fix potential bugs before the full rollout.
When Can I Play Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay?
Patch 8, including crossplay, will launch sometime after the January 2025 stress test.
How to Join the Patch 8 Stress Test:
To participate in the stress test and potentially experience crossplay early, register through Larian's Stress Test sign-up form. You'll need a Larian account. The registration process is quick and simple, requiring basic information about your gaming platform (PC, PlayStation, or Xbox).
Remember, registration doesn't guarantee selection. Successful applicants will receive an email with instructions. Participants will provide feedback via forms and Discord.
This stress test will also evaluate the impact of Patch 8 on mods, making it beneficial for mod users to register. Crucially, all players in your intended playgroup must participate in the stress test to utilize crossplay; otherwise, you'll need to wait for the broader release in 2025.
The addition of crossplay is a significant step for Baldur's Gate 3, fostering further community growth and enabling more players to explore the world of Faerûn together.
