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 stress test in January 2025 will give select players early access to this and other Patch 8 features. This early access period will help Larian Studios identify and fix bugs before the wider release.

When Can I Play Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay?

Patch 8, including crossplay functionality, doesn't have a confirmed release date. The January 2025 stress test will be the first opportunity for a limited number of players to experience crossplay.

How to Join the Patch 8 Stress Test:

To participate in the stress test and potentially play Baldur's Gate 3 with crossplay early, register through Larian's Stress Test Registration form. You'll need a Larian account; create one or log in if you already have one. The registration process is quick and simple, requiring only basic player information, including your gaming platform (PC, PlayStation, or Xbox).

Keep in mind that registration doesn't guarantee selection. Those chosen will receive an email with further instructions. Selected participants can provide feedback through feedback forms and Discord.

The stress test will also evaluate the patch's impact on mods. Mod users and developers are encouraged to sign up to help ensure compatibility.

Crucially, all players in your intended Baldur's Gate 3 group must register for the stress test to utilize crossplay. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the full release in 2025.

The enduring popularity of Baldur's Gate 3 is a testament to its engaging gameplay and strong community. Crossplay promises to further unite players and expand the shared experience of exploring Faerûn.
