How To Join the Baldur’s Gate 3 Stress Test & Try Crossplay

Crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3! Patch 8, slated for release in 2025, will introduce this highly anticipated feature, allowing PC and console players to team up. Want to get in early? Sign up for the Patch 8 Stress Test!

When's the Crossplay Launch?

While a firm release date for Patch 8 is still under wraps, a select group of players will experience crossplay and other Patch 8 features early via a stress test in January 2025. This early access will help Larian Studios identify and squash any bugs before the full release.

How to Join the Patch 8 Stress Test:

To participate in the stress test and potentially play with friends across different platforms (PC, PlayStation, and Xbox), register through Larian's Stress Test sign-up form. You'll need a Larian account. The registration process is quick and simple, requiring basic player information and your preferred platform.

Keep in mind: registration doesn't guarantee selection. Chosen participants will receive an email with further instructions. Selected testers will be able to provide feedback through various channels, including feedback forms and Discord.

The stress test is also crucial for mod compatibility. Modders and players who heavily rely on mods should sign up to ensure their mods function seamlessly after the patch's full release.

Important Note: All players in your Baldur's Gate 3 group must be part of the stress test to utilize crossplay. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the official launch.

The enduring popularity of Baldur's Gate 3 makes the addition of crossplay a significant step forward, promising to connect even more players in the rich world of Faerûn.
