Baldur's Gate 3's highly anticipated crossplay feature is finally arriving with Patch 8! While a firm release date is yet to be announced, a stress test in January 2025 will give select players early access. This allows Larian Studios to identify and fix any potential bugs before the full launch.
When Can I Play Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay?
Patch 8, including crossplay, will be available to everyone sometime in 2025. The January 2025 stress test offers a sneak peek for a limited number of players across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
How to Participate in the Patch 8 Stress Test:
To join the stress test and potentially experience crossplay early, register through Larian's Stress Test Registration form. You'll need a Larian account. The registration process is quick and easy, simply provide basic information including your gaming platform.
Remember, registration doesn't guarantee selection. Successful applicants will receive an email with further instructions. Selected participants can provide valuable feedback via feedback forms and Discord, helping shape the final crossplay experience.
The stress test will also assess the impact of Patch 8 on mods. Mod users and creators are encouraged to participate to ensure compatibility.
Crucially, all players in your intended gaming group must register for the stress test to utilize crossplay during this period. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the official release.
The addition of crossplay to the already popular Baldur's Gate 3 will undoubtedly strengthen the community and allow even more players to explore the world of Faerûn together.
