After a false beginning yesterday, the Patch 8 patching stress test of Baldur's Gate 3 is now officially underway in Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC, which gives selected participants the opportunity to explore a variety of new features before of its complete launch – with the cooperative screen support divided for the Xbox S series is the inclusion of surprise (and long).
Developer Larian detailed patch 8 of Baldur's Gate 3 in November, promising 12 new subclasses, cross -game, new camera features and more. At that time, he revealed that he would celebrate a closed stress test before a complete launch, to help him “catch things before they can become a problem”, with open records since then.
And now, the first wave of invitations has come to successful applicants, and the Patch 8 stress test is live. Larian covers some key details related to the launch in a blog post that accompanies it, providing notes on the use of modifications during the cross game, as well as the instructions on the request for additional keys for the participants who wish to explore the cross game with Friends who are not yet in the test.
However, the big surprise is the confirmation that Patch 8 will also finally introduce the screen cooperative divided to the Xbox S series after an extremely long wait. The characteristic has proven to be a little headache for Larian, and was initially blamed for the delayed release of Baldur's Gate 3 in Xbox in 2023, since the study had difficulty optimizing it enough for the Microsoft's lowest specification console. In the end, the Divided screen of the S series was completely eliminated and was not included when the game was finally launched for Xbox Series X/S in December 2023.
And it seemed that it was all. But now, more than 12 months later, Larian has confirmed that the feature has made the cut for patch 8, which means that it is only screened in the last content update of Baldur's Gate 3. However, there is not much more than Informing about their inclusion, since Larian simply pointed out that Xbox stress test participants can try it early as of today.
Laryian has not yet said how long the stress test will last before the complete launch of Patch 8, but Baldur's Gate 3 players are eager to get involved can still register their interest on their website.
