Long awaited by players across PC and console platforms, crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3 with Patch 8! While an official release date is pending, a Patch 8 Stress Test will give select players early access in January 2025. This test will help identify and resolve potential issues before the full release.

When Can I Play Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay?

Patch 8, which includes crossplay, doesn't have a confirmed release date. However, a limited stress test will launch in January 2025, allowing a select group of players to experience the new feature and provide feedback.

How to Participate in the Patch 8 Stress Test:

To join the stress test and potentially play Baldur's Gate 3 with crossplay early, register through Larian's Stress Test Registration form. You'll need a Larian account. The registration process is quick and simple, requiring basic information about your gaming platform.

Important Note: Registration doesn't guarantee participation. Selected players will receive an email with instructions. Feedback will be collected through forms and Discord.

Why Participate?

The stress test will also assess the impact of Patch 8 on mods. Mod users and creators are encouraged to register to help ensure compatibility. Remember, all players in your group must be part of the stress test to utilize crossplay during this phase. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the broader 2025 release.

Baldur's Gate 3's enduring popularity is a testament to its engaging gameplay and community. Crossplay promises to further enhance the experience by uniting players across different platforms to explore the world of Faerûn.
