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 is pending, a Patch 8 Stress Test will give select players early access in January 2025. This test will help identify and fix bugs before the full 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 this highly anticipated feature.
How to Participate in the Patch 8 Stress Test
Want to be among the first to try Baldur's Gate 3's crossplay? Register for the Patch 8 Stress Test! It's open to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players.
Simply complete Larian's Stress Test Registration. You'll need a Larian account; create one or log in to access the registration form. The quick survey asks for basic information, including your gaming platform.
Selection isn't guaranteed. Successful applicants receive an email with further instructions. Selected testers can provide feedback through forms and Discord.
The Stress Test will also assess the impact on mods. Modders and frequent mod users should register to help ensure compatibility.
Important: To play crossplay with friends, everyone in your group must register and be accepted into the Stress Test. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for the broader release in 2025.
Baldur's Gate 3's continued popularity and strong community make the addition of crossplay a hugely exciting development, promising to unite even more players in the exploration of Faerûn.
