Introducing the Early Access Trial for Baldur's Gate 3!

Baldur's Gate 3's highly anticipated crossplay feature is finally arriving with Patch 8! While a firm release date is yet to be announced, a Patch 8 Stress Test will give select players early access in January 2025. This test will help identify and fix bugs before the wider rollout.

When is Cross-Play Available?

The crossplay functionality will debut with Patch 8, though no official launch date has been confirmed. The January 2025 Stress Test offers a sneak peek for participants.

How to Join the Patch 8 Stress Test

Want to be among the first to experience crossplay? Sign up for the Patch 8 Stress Test! This is open to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players.

Simply complete Larian's Stress Test Registration. You'll need a Larian account; create one or log in to access the registration form. The process is quick and requires basic information, including your gaming platform.

Selection isn't guaranteed, but chosen players receive an email with access details. Participants can provide valuable feedback via feedback forms and Discord, helping to refine the crossplay experience and the patch's impact on mods. Mod users are especially encouraged to participate.

Remember: all players in your group must register for the Stress Test to play together using crossplay. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the full release in 2025.

Baldur's Gate 3's enduring popularity and strong community make the addition of crossplay a significant event, promising to unite players across different platforms in the exploration of Faerûn.
