Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 Stress Test Underway: A Massive Update on the Horizon

Larian Studios has initiated a stress test for Baldur's Gate 3's highly anticipated Patch 8, a significant update requiring thorough testing before its official release. This pre-release test aims to identify and resolve any remaining bugs and performance issues.

Stress Test Update 1 Addresses Key Issues

A first update to the Patch 8 stress test build is now available, addressing various bugs, crashes, and scripting errors. Improvements include ensuring Gale's correct interaction with magical items, preventing inventory contents from disappearing when containers are destroyed, and enhancing Steam Deck screenshot functionality in Photo Mode. Cross-play functionality has also received updates. For a complete changelog, visit the official Baldur's Gate 3 website.

Patch 8: A Feature-Packed Finale

Considered one of the final major updates before Larian concludes their work on Faerûn, Patch 8 promises extensive new content. Key additions include:

  • Cross-platform play: Seamlessly join friends across different platforms.
  • Over 12 new subclasses: Explore new character builds, including the Death Domain Cleric, Path of Giants Barbarian, and Arcane Archer Fighter.
  • Highly anticipated Photo Mode: Capture your adventures with extensive customization options.

Unleash Your Inner Photographer with Photo Mode

A dedicated video provides an in-depth look at the new Photo Mode's capabilities. Accessible almost anywhere in the game (except during dialogues and cutscenes), Photo Mode offers:

  • Pose control: Customize character poses, including adding extra elements to the scene.
  • Free-moving camera: Capture the perfect angle.
  • Post-processing effects, stickers, and frames: Enhance your images.

Larian plans to release additional tutorials to further showcase Photo Mode's creative potential. Only stress test participants have access to the current build; the full release will be available to all players later.
