A new Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 stress test update is here, targeting “several crashes and gameplay fixes” while it “brings us closer to release” of the RPG’s big update

As Larian Studios prepares to release its long-awaited Patch 8 to the public, select lucky fans are enjoying the massive Baldur’s Gate 3 update early via its stress test – and it might not be too long now until the rest of us also get to.

The stress test has just received its third big update, as Larian reveals in a new post, and it “targets several crashes and gameplay fixes.” The first patch saw various bugs resolved, including one that rendered Gale constantly hungry for more magical items, while the second one namely nerfed an OP subclass cantrip – whether for better or worse.
