Important Warning for Players
Players should be careful with Patch 8 because any new save files created won’t work with Patch 7. If access to Patch 8 is removed, this could cause issues.
What’s Coming in Patch 8
The next update for Baldur’s Gate 3 is packed with exciting features. Players will get cross-platform play, making it easier to connect across different systems. It also adds a photo mode for capturing in-game moments and introduces 12 new subclasses to expand character customization. This update will be Larian Studios‘ last addition to the game and franchise, planned for release in 2025. Right now, players can still sign up for stress tests if they’re interested.
