Larian Seeks Players to Test Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8

Larian Studios has announced that the Patch 8 stress test build for *Baldur's Gate 3* is set to launch in January. This exciting update will be accessible to players on Steam for PC, as well as on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Unfortunately, players using Mac or GOG platforms will not have access to this stress test. If you're eager to participate, the interest registration form is currently open and ready for your sign-up.

Before the official release of Patch 8, Larian Studios is committed to thoroughly testing the update to ensure it's free from any instability or gameplay issues. "With your help, we’ll be able to keep an eye on any funny business," the developer humorously stated. A key focus of this testing phase is the introduction of crossplay functionality. Larian acknowledged the challenge of implementing crossplay in a game as expansive as *Baldur's Gate 3*, saying, "Bringing crossplay to a game the size of Baldur’s Gate 3 has been no easy task, and we want your help to test-drive this new functionality."

To make the most of this opportunity, Larian encourages players to share the stress test registration link with friends and dive into a crossplay campaign together. Alternatively, you can join the Larian Studios Discord Server to find a group to play with, ensuring you're not missing out on the fun.

While Patch 8 marks the final major update for *Baldur's Gate 3*, Larian Studios has pledged ongoing support for the game's modding community. They've teased "big updates still to come," with enhanced functionality that will empower players to craft their own unique stories. Since the official mod tools were released in September, the community has been incredibly active, with over 70 million module downloads and more than 3,000 mods uploaded. This vibrant modding scene promises to keep *Baldur's Gate 3* fresh and engaging for years to come.
