Larian Studios announced a January stress test for Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 via a Steam post. This test, accessible on PC via Steam, and consoles (Xbox and PlayStation), aims to rigorously identify and address any instability or gameplay issues before the official release. Mac and GOG users will not have access to this test. Registration is now open.
A key focus of the stress test is cross-play functionality. Larian acknowledges the complexity of implementing cross-play in a game of Baldur's Gate 3's scale and encourages player participation to thoroughly evaluate this new feature. Players are invited to recruit friends or find groups via the Larian Studios Discord server.
While Patch 8 marks the final major update, Larian reaffirms its commitment to ongoing support, particularly for the modding community. Significant future updates are planned, enhancing modding tools to empower players in crafting their own narratives. The impressive adoption of the official mod tools, released in September, with over 70 million module downloads and 3,000+ mod uploads, underscores the community's enthusiasm.
