Baldur’s Gate 3 Dev Larian Wants Your Help Testing Patch 8

Larian Studios announced on a Steam post that a stress test for Patch 8 is planned for January. PC players can participate via Steam, while console players can join on Xbox and PlayStation. Mac and GOG users will not have access to this test. Registration for the stress test is currently open.

Larian intends to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and stability issues before its official release. They've specifically highlighted the need for community assistance in testing the new cross-play functionality. Implementing cross-play in a game as large as Baldur's Gate 3 has presented significant challenges, and player feedback is crucial. Larian encourages players to share the registration link with friends or find groups via the Larian Studios Discord server.

Although Patch 8 marks the final major update for Baldur's Gate 3, Larian reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the game's modding community. Significant updates are planned to enhance modding tools, 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.
