Author : Michael Jan 09,2025

Crossplay is finally coming to Baldur's Gate 3! Patch 8, slated for release sometime in 2025, will introduce this highly anticipated feature. But you don't have to wait! A select group of players can participate in the Patch 8 Stress Test in January 2025, experiencing crossplay and other new features early.

When is Crossplay Arriving?

While a firm release date for Patch 8 is unavailable, the stress test will give players a sneak peek at crossplay in January 2025. This test helps Larian Studios identify and fix any bugs before the official launch.

How to Sign Up for the Stress Test

Want to be among the first to try Baldur's Gate 3's crossplay? Register for the Patch 8 Stress Test via Larian's registration form. You'll need a Larian account. The registration process is quick and easy, requiring basic information like your gaming platform (PC, PlayStation, or Xbox).

Remember, registration doesn't guarantee selection. Chosen participants will receive an email with further instructions. Selected testers will also provide feedback through forms and Discord. This test will also assess the impact on mods, so mod users should consider registering.

Crucially, all players in your group must register for the stress test to play together using crossplay. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for the full release.

The introduction of crossplay is a significant step for Baldur's Gate 3, a game already beloved for its rich gameplay and community. This feature will undoubtedly bring even more players together to explore the world of Faerûn.
