Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian has revealed what to expect from Patch 8, the game's last major patch.

Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian has detailed the game’s last major patch — and it’s a big one.

Patch 8, due out in 2025, adds crossplay, photo mode, and 12 new subclasses to the hugely successful role-playing game. In a blog post, Larian said Patch 8 is the game’s last major update, with the developer moving on to brand new games away from the Dungeons & Dragons universe.

However, Larian promised to continue to support Baldur’s Gate 3 modders, with “big updates still to come,” including more functionality “to let you tell your own stories.” Official mod tools were released in September, and since then players have uploaded more than 3,000 mods and downloaded over 70 million.

The addition of crossplay means Baldur’s Gate 3 multiplayer will soon feature full cross-platform progression. Once the update is live you’ll be able to invite your friends to join your crossplay lobby directly, regardless of platform and find available multiplayer lobbies with friends on other systems using the Larian Network.

The best game of the generation just got better.

12 new subclasses is insane.

I'm going to end up going over 1000hrs in this game. I'm around 750ish right now. Lol.

Larian - “were not doing DLC for BG3”

Also Larian - “here’s a bunch of free shit we could’ve easily charged you for”

Blessed devs. Stuff like this is why I will buy their next game day 1 sight unseen.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I will. Probably after I beat my next few games.

 

[mayham2199]

These guys are crazy.

[FoxMcChief]

Is this the last patch that they said was going to be free?

 

[Magic Carpet]

Game is still sitting in my Steam Library. Bought it but have not payed it yet beyond the first few min.
Gonna have to wait for 2025 now.

 

[JTCx]

The real game of the gen.

100% they're the only developer I would preorder going in blind at this point.

I really want them to make some Sci-Fi Star Trek type of game next.

Easily.....and it's not even close in my opinion. And unlike most of this forum, I think this generation has been great.

 

[Lorianus]

Article lists 8 subclasses, we are missing 4 to make it 12.

edit: reread the article and it was 12, my bad

 

[Draugoth]

Bioware walked so Larian could run.

 

[Senua]

 

[Skifi28]

Sounds like a new playthrough is needed, poor me.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I think at this point I will just start over instead of picking up where I left off. I can’t remember a single characters name.

RIP Bilbo Bigballs

 

[Trogdor1123]

Well, I guess I should just buy the damn thing finally

 

[geary]

GGG with Path of Exile 2 and Larian with BG3....Best devs at this moment.

Fuck, the dev's dedication, love, and passion to this game is insane.

 

[TheChumpNation]

These guys just don't stop winning. It's truly wonderful to see.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Hell yes, what a game. Amazing.

One of the rare few games that I truly had strong emotional attachments to some of the characters. Really a total package that has been polished beyond polish(within the limitations of the engine) and I'm going to just say it, this is my number 1 game of all time. Absolutely brilliant.

Monk - Drunken Master

Still no Kensei?

The article lists 12 subclasses. . .

 

[Filben]

Patch 8? I could swear this game had like twenty patches.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I guess i still should wait to play....still want to though....


Too many games.

 

[Last Hearth]

They should make patches eligible for GOTY and have BG3 win again this year.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I'll wait to play when they "complete" it.

L Last Hearth At this point why not? After the garbage they pulled at that joke of an event.

 

[Last Hearth]

Patch 8? I could swear this game had like twenty patches.

8 major patches where they add significant content, the smaller bug fixes etc aren't factored into the count.

 

[Kurotri]

I still haven't gotten around to this game. Will they ever finish working on it ? cuz DAMN

 

[Kacho]

Larian demonstrates why they continue to be an industry darling

 

[phant0m]

I thought they said they were done with it after the mods update?

Not complaining and good em but damn

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Yassssss finally the werebear consent form getting patched in

 

[Mister Wolf]

My GOAT.

 

[Danteyke223]

Still waiting for the year when they add back the cut content for Act 2 and 3. There were some wild reddit leaks back in the day, and how Upper City was cut.

 

[Gaelyon]

That's the kind of commitment that so rare nowadays. They made 20 times more money than expected and it's fully deserved. No microtransactions, no paying DLC, large free patches, mod support, coop couch play, huge content and tons of replayability, and just the skill, the will and dedication.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Very surprised. Thought after their last update they were adamant it was their last.
