Future Major Update to Bring Crossplay and Photo Mode to Baldur’s Gate 3

Cross-play is set to revolutionize multiplayer gaming by bridging every platform where the game is available, whether you’re on a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Windows, or Mac. The photo mode offers a plethora of options, allowing you to tweak camera angles, lenses, and scene settings, along with post-processing effects, frames, and stickers. This means you can customize your party’s look to be as stylish, adorable, or intimidating as you’d like.

In an exciting addition, players of Baldur’s Gate 3 can look forward to each class being enriched with a new subclass as they level up. Take the Bard, for example: opting for the College of Glamour subclass will unlock more abilities to heal your team and charm your foes. Meanwhile, Monks who choose the Drunken Master path will strategically use alcohol from their inventory to enhance their skills.

And now for those curious about the available subclasses, here’s a rundown paired with their respective starting classes:

Larian Studios, the creative minds behind Baldur’s Gate 3, hasn’t pinned down a specific release date for Patch 8 just yet. However, eager players can get an early glimpse of the upcoming features by participating in a stress test, tentatively scheduled for early January. Details on how to join the test are expected to be announced soon.

While Larian Studios has been open about not planning a Baldur’s Gate 4 or any downloadable content for Baldur’s Gate 3, they are clearly aiming to conclude the development of the 2023 Game of the Year on a high note.
