Baldur’s Gate 3 patch 8 release date could mark a turning point in terms of post-launch support for Larian Studios’ wildly popular RPG. While the studio has a few more notable features in store for us, it is steadily winding down efforts to support the title as it sets its sights on new projects.
Its predecessor brought us long-awaited modding tools, split-screen improvements, and much more, which makes it a tough act to follow. Nevertheless, BG3’s Patch 8 Release Date could be a game changer for players who picked up the title on different platforms but want to adventure together.
Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 Release Date
Although the developer hasn’t touched upon the release date for BG3 Patch 8 just yet – it usually keeps things under wraps until close to the actual launch – it has confirmed that the update is underway and will arrive in 2025. The patch will begin early stress tests in January.
“We have one more major patch waiting around the corner. Arriving next year, this update will introduce some of the most eagerly awaited features to BG3: cross-play, and photo mode, along with 12 new subclasses.” Larian Studios said on 27th November.

It’s hard to say when exactly it might go live prior to an official announcement from the developer, but we currently expect it to do so at some point in early 2025.
While BG3 is quite a looker and has plenty of sights that take advantage of what a photo mode could offer, crossplay is obviously the final big feature left to implement either in patch 8 or later. The fact that it is being worked on is sure to be good news for co-op enthusiasts who play on different platforms.
“Whether you’re joining PS5 players from your PC, or jumping into a game with Mac users from your Xbox, Baldur’s Gate 3 multiplayer will soon feature full cross-platform progression, including cross-play - just as the gaming gods intended.” said Larian.
The Bard, Barbarian, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Fighter, Monk, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Warlock and Wizard classes will each get a new subclass with fresh abilities, animations, VFX, summons, and cantrips. You can find out more about the subclasses here.
