Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 Stress Test Receives First Update

Larian Studios addresses early feedback from playtesters, refining cross-play, photo mode, and subclass mechanics in the latest update.

Larian Studios has released the first update for Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8, available exclusively to participants in the ongoing stress test.
The update focuses on refining cross-play functionality, though some issues with connectivity between platforms remain under investigation.
Photo mode enhancements include fixes for camera commands, visual bugs, and usability improvements like streamlined screenshot functionality on Steam Deck.
Gameplay adjustments address bugs such as disappearing quest items, incorrect spell slot allocation, and issues with subclass abilities like Pact of the Blade and Shadow Magic.
The finalized Patch 8, featuring cross-play, photo mode, and 12 new subclasses, is expected to release widely later this year following further refinement.
