With cross-play available, you’ll be able to enjoy multiplayer gaming across all platforms where the game is available, be it the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, or your trusty Windows and Mac computers. The photo mode is loaded with a range of camera options, lens effects, and scene settings, not to mention post-processing effects, frames, and stickers, allowing you to capture your party in the cool, cute, or menacing vibe you’re going for.
On top of that, every class in Baldur’s Gate 3 is set to expand with a fresh subclass to choose from as they level up. For example, Bards who opt for the College of Glamour will find themselves better equipped to heal allies and put a spell on enemies. Meanwhile, the Monk with a penchant for the Drunken Master path will enhance their skills by indulging in some inventory-sourced alcohol.
If you’re curious about all the subclasses and which starting classes they’ll be matched with, here’s the complete rundown. Though Larian Studios, the creators behind Baldur’s Gate 3, hasn’t pinned down an exact release date for Patch 8 just yet, avid players will have a chance to preview the upcoming features during a planned stress test scheduled for early January. Keep your eyes peeled for more details on how to get involved.
Even though Larian Studios is quite upfront about what’s next—like not venturing into Baldur’s Gate 4 or even releasing any downloadable content for Baldur’s Gate 3—it’s apparent that they intend to conclude the development of this 2023 Game of the Year nominee with quite the spectacle.
