When Will Baldur's Gate 3 Crossplay Launch?

While a precise date for Patch 8 remains unannounced, the stress test in January 2025 will give a select group of players a sneak peek at cross-platform gameplay. This testing phase is crucial for identifying and resolving any potential bugs before the wider rollout.
