When Can I Play Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay?
Patch 8, incorporating crossplay, lacks an official release date. However, a stress test is scheduled for January 2025, offering a preview to participating players. This test helps Larian Studios identify and fix bugs before the wider rollout.
How to Join the Patch 8 Stress Test
To be among the first to experience Baldur's Gate 3's crossplay, register for the Patch 8 Stress Test. This applies to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players.
Simply complete Larian's Stress Test Registration form. You'll need a Larian Account—sign in or create one beforehand. The registration process is quick and requires basic player information, including your chosen platform.

The stress test also assesses the impact on mods. Mod users are encouraged to participate to ensure compatibility with the updated game.
