Join Baldur's Gate 3 Stress Test for Crossplay

Long anticipated by players across PC and consoles, crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3 with Patch 8! While a firm release date remains unannounced, a Patch 8 Stress Test will give select players early access to this and other new features in January 2025. This test helps Larian Studios identify and fix bugs before the full launch.

When Can I Play Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay?

Patch 8, including crossplay, will arrive sometime after the January 2025 Stress Test. The Stress Test allows Larian to thoroughly test the new features, ensuring a smoother experience for everyone when it officially releases.

How to Participate in the Patch 8 Stress Test:

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

Remember, registration doesn't guarantee selection. Successful applicants will receive an email with further instructions. Selected participants will provide feedback through forms and Discord.

The Stress Test will also assess the patch's effect on mods. Mod users and creators are encouraged to participate to ensure compatibility.

Crucially, all players in your Baldur's Gate 3 group must register for the Stress Test to utilize crossplay during the testing period. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for the full release in 2025.

Baldur's Gate 3's enduring popularity and strong community make the addition of crossplay a highly anticipated event, promising to unite even more players in the exploration of Faerûn.
