Baldur's Gate 3 dev praises engineers for cross-play after Patch 8: "You should be able to play the same game with your bros no matter which major platform they pick"

Baldur's Gate 3 Minthara, a drow with pale purple skin and light blonde hair, smirks as her face is covered in blood splatter.

Following months of stress tests and anticipation, Larian Studios has finally released Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3 – and among all of the final update's features, cross-play might just be one of the biggest.

Larian publishing director Michael "Cromwelp" Douse would probably agree, taking to a celebratory post to honor the skilled developers responsible for the game's newly integrated cross-play support accompanying Patch 8. "I wanna give a special shoutout to our engineers and backend team because cross-play is not trivial," writes Douse, "but in this increasingly eco-system driven world more important than ever."
