Join Baldur's Gate 3 Playtest: Crossplay Available

Long-awaited crossplay functionality is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3 with the upcoming Patch 8! While a firm release date is pending, a Patch 8 Stress Test will give select players early access in January 2025. This allows Larian Studios to identify and fix bugs before the wider release.

When is Cross-Play Arriving?

Patch 8, including crossplay, doesn't have an official launch date yet. The January 2025 stress test will be the first opportunity for a limited number of players to experience it.

How to Participate in the Stress Test:

To join the Patch 8 Stress Test and potentially try crossplay early, register through Larian's Stress Test Registration form. You'll need a Larian Account; create one or log in if you already have one. The registration process is quick and simple, requiring basic information like your preferred gaming platform (PC, PlayStation, or Xbox).

Keep in mind, registration doesn't guarantee selection. Chosen participants will receive an email with further instructions. Selected testers can offer feedback through feedback forms and Discord.

The stress test will also assess the impact of Patch 8 on mods. Mod users and developers are encouraged to participate to help ensure compatibility.

Important Note: Crossplay within your group requires all players to be part of the stress test. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the full release in 2025.

Baldur's Gate 3's enduring popularity is a testament to its engaging gameplay and strong community. Crossplay will undoubtedly enhance the experience, uniting players across platforms to explore the world of Faerûn.
