After almost two years, Larian Studios is finally done patching Baldur’s Gate 3. The team released the game’s eighth and final patch today, April 15, and it brings some long-awaited features like crossplay multiplayer, photo mode, and 12 new subclasses.
The update is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S and will be the last major patch, with only those dedicated to maintenance and bug fixes to follow. So if there are adventures you and your friends have been waiting to embark on until Larian was done tweaking the game, you can now play without worrying that you’ll miss out on new features and stories.
“You’ve helped us make BG3 a bigger success than any of us could’ve ever hoped for, and that passion could keep us tweaking things and making changes until the end of time,” the team wrote in the patch notes. “But then we’d never be able to create something new. Outside of minor bug fixing, Patch 8 will be the last game patch to introduce new content. That means we won’t be adding any new narrative content or significant changes to storylines, Origin characters, or companions. We’ve told our stories the way we needed to tell them, and tried our best to make them impactful and engaging, and we’re continuing to get better at handling our own chaos so that we can continue to create more chaos in the future.”
Larian also released a new animated short starring the Baldur’s Gate 3 cast and a surprise appearance from studio founder Swen Vincke to commemorate the end of an era.
