Hold onto your memes, this is not a drill! Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8, the final major update for Larian’s turn-based cRPG, 3 is here.
“After a lot of testing and a healthy dose of stress, the party are readying for one last adventure to mark the end of an era. But something feels different…To help us close the door on our last major patch, the party are back with their final animated short in collaboration with Spud Gun Studios (https://www.spudgunstudios.com/), with a special appearance by the man in metal himself: Swen in his animated debut!”
Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 highlights include:
- Crossplay: Introducing crossplay between PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Mac, so players can party up with friends no matter what platform they play on.
- Photo Mode: Adventurers can snap photos of their escapades during cutscenes, dialogue, and combat, and edit them to their hearts’ content with a slew of post-processing effects (and stickers…)
- 12 New Subclasses: Brand-new subclasses; new abilities, VFX, animations, summons, and Oathbreaker Knight voiced dialogue; each class has a new way to play.
- Modding Toolkit Update: Patch 8 brings partial level editing and quality-of-life updates to BG3’s official Modding Toolkit.
Patch 8 also adds Steam Trading Cards, allowing those playing on the platform to craft badges and unlock exclusive profile backgrounds and emoticons to use there.
In case you have missed a more detailed look at the subclasses, Larian released three separate videos, giving each a small overview:
