Baldur's Gate 3 is ringing in 2025 with new features and subclasses I've wanted since launch — here's Patch 8's release date for testing

Baldur's Gate 3.

What you need to know

  • Since releasing in August last year, Larian Studios' award-winning CRPG Baldur's Gate 3 has been consistently updated over time with major content additions and bug fixes. The game's final large update will be Patch 8, and now we know when it's coming and what it will include.
  • Patch 8 will add cross-play support and an official Photo Mode to Baldur's Gate 3, both of which are features the community has wanted for a long time.
  • On top of that, it's also bringing a new subclass to each of the RPG's 12 classes. Each subclass has been taken from the D&D ruleset and adapted for Baldur's Gate 3.
  • Patch 8 is scheduled to come out in 2025, with Larian planning to allow players to stress test the update in early January. It will be available to test on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PS5; the developers will explain how players can register for the test in a future post.
