Baldur’s Gate 3 will add crossplay, 12 new subclasses, and a photo mode, Larian Studios announced.
These new features will be introduced to the game in 2025 as part of its eighth major patch.
“Whether you join PS5 players from your PC or jump into a game with Mac users from your Xbox, Baldur’s Gate 3 multiplayer will soon feature full cross-platform progression, including cross-play, just as the gods of the game intended. Larian said.
“Once the update is available, you will be able to invite your friends to join your cross-play lobby directly, regardless of platform, and find available multiplayer lobbies with friends on other systems using the Larian Network.”
Patch 8 will also add a new subclass for each of the game‘s existing classes.
“Expect new abilities, animations, visual effects, summons and tricks, and lines of voiced dialogue unique to Oathbreaker Knight with reactivity written for Oathbreakers, along with a touch of homebrew on certain actions to enhance your role-playing experience.”
“Baldur’s Gate 3’s Photo mode is a bit like a photo booth that lets you set up pretty much any shot you want,” Larian said. “This new feature introduces a wealth of options that allow you to customize and edit your in-game photos, with varying levels of freedom depending on whether you’re using it while adventuring or during combat, dialogue, and cutscenes.”
Players will have the opportunity to test the new features before their official release when Larian tests the patch. Their goal is to do so in early January on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
Console versions of Baldur’s Gate 3 recently received a new limit on the number of mods that can be used per save.
