Baldur's Gate III's eighth and potentially final major patch is undergoing its official stress test. While some Sony console players received early access, players opting out are advised to reinstall the game.
Patch 8 introduces highly anticipated cross-platform play between PC and consoles, facilitated by linked Larian accounts. Remarkably, modded gameplay is also supported cross-platform, provided all mods are available across Mac, PC, and consoles, and the host's mod count remains below ten.
Multiplayer capabilities receive a significant boost with the addition of split-screen co-op on Xbox Series S, a feature previously unavailable on this console.
Further enhancements include a fully customizable photo mode and twelve new subclasses, adding depth and variety to character builds. While numerous bugs have been addressed and game balance adjusted, some issues persist. A comprehensive changelog is available on the game's official website.
