Long awaited by players across PC and consoles, crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3 with Patch 8! While a firm release date isn't set, a Patch 8 Stress Test in January 2025 will give select players early access to this and other new features.
When is Cross-Play Arriving?
Patch 8, including crossplay functionality, doesn't have an official release date. However, a stress test in January 2025 will allow a limited number of players to experience it early. This test will help Larian Studios identify and fix bugs before the wider release.
How to Join the Patch 8 Stress Test
Want to be among the first to try Baldur's Gate 3's crossplay? Sign up for the Patch 8 Stress Test! It's open to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players.
Simply complete Larian's Stress Test Registration form. You'll need a Larian account – sign in or create one before starting the short registration survey. Provide basic information, including your gaming platform.
