With the final major patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 nearly here, some players got an early taste of the changes it’s adding — just not how they wanted. Ahead of the game’s Patch 8 stress test, the patch was mistakenly sent to some PlayStation 5 players, causing compatibility problems. Fortunately, developer Larian Studios has shared a fix for any issues that popped up around the accidental launch, and the actual stress test is making its way to consoles.
Larian hasn’t yet announced the official launch date for Patch 8, but before it becomes available to all players, the developer is running a test to see how its new features work out in the wild. The stress test, which launched on January 28, is only available to players who signed up, but some PS5 players had their game updated with an unsupported version of the patch on January 27. Larian quickly warned that the surprise launch was an accident and shared steps on how to fix it.
