Baldur’s Gate 3’s final major patch goes live April 15

Larian Studios is finally ready to say goodbye to Baldur’s Gate 3 with one last update set to go live next Tuesday, April 15.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s Patch 8, as the expansion is called, focuses on three major updates: an additional sub-class for every main class, cross-play between all platforms, and a photo mode. The developer conducted a handful of community stress tests over the last few weeks, and, ignoring that time the entire update accidentally went live on PlayStation 5, it sounds like Patch 8 is finally ready for public consumption.

The studio plans to celebrate Patch 8’s release with a special livestream hosted by Larian senior communications developer Aoife Wilson and featuring Baldur’s Gate 3 senior systems designer Ross Stephens, who will provide a detailed look at everything the update has to offer.

As Larian Studios won’t be following the 2023 Game of the Year up with Baldur’s Gate 4 — never fear, Hasbro’s already looking for a successor — Patch 8 marks the end of an era for the studio that began all the way back in 2020 when Baldur’s Gate 3 first entered early access.
