BG3 Dev Solicits Testers for Patch 8 Update

Larian Studios announced on Steam that a stress test for Baldur's Gate 3 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 test build. Registration for the stress test is currently open.

Larian plans to thoroughly test Patch 8 for bugs and gameplay issues before its official release. They are particularly focused on testing the cross-play functionality, acknowledging the significant challenge of implementing cross-play in a game of Baldur's Gate 3's scale. Players are encouraged to register and participate, either with friends or by finding groups through the Larian Studios Discord server.

While Patch 8 marks the final major update for Baldur's Gate 3, Larian reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the game's modding community. They highlighted plans for future updates to enhance modding capabilities, allowing players to create and share their own content. Since the release of official modding tools in September, players have downloaded over 70 million modules and uploaded over 3,000 mods.
