Wow huuuuge update coming in 2025, maybe i should put my current playthrough on hold :patrice:




Like an aged mentor in an inspiring 1980s film montage, we're filled with pride seeing all the mods you've been crafting and using since the release of our official mod tools in September. In just under three months, you've uploaded more than 3,000 mods, downloaded over 70 million, and created a spell to turn your enemies into cheese.
But before we bid Faerûn adieu in search of stranger shores, we have one more major patch waiting around the corner. Arriving next year, this update will introduce some of the most eagerly awaited features to BG3: cross-play, and photo mode, along with 12 new subclasses.
Cross-Play

Whether you're joining PS5 players from your PC, or jumping 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 gaming gods intended.

Once the update is live you'll 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.
Subclasses

Patch 8 will introduce a new way to play your favourite class, adding one new subclass for each of the existing Bard, Barbarian, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Fighter, Monk, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Warlock and Wizard classes in the game.

Expect new abilities, animations, VFX, summons and cantrips, and unique voiced dialogue lines for the Oathbreaker Knight with written reactivity for Oathbreakers, along with a touch of homebrewing on certain actions to enhance your role-playing experience.

They are....
  • Bard - College of Glamour
  • Barbarian - Path of Giants
  • Cleric - Death Domain
  • Druid - Circle of Stars
  • Paladin - Oath of the Crown
  • Fighter - Arcane Archer
  • Monk - Drunken Master
  • Ranger - Swarmkeeper
  • Rogue - Swashbuckler
  • Sorcerer - Shadow Magic
  • Warlock - Hexblade
  • Wizard - Bladesinging
Photo Mode

Finally, you can stop using pictures of fish you've caught on your dating profile and start snapping photos with your Hound of Ill Omen. Photo Mode is coming to Baldur's Gate 3 in Patch 8!

Baldur's Gate 3's Photo Mode is a little like a photo booth that lets you set up pretty much any shot you'd like. This new feature introduces a whole slew of options to let you customise and edit your in-game photography, with various levels of freedom depending on whether you're using it while adventuring, or during combat, dialogue, and cinematic scenes.

Cross play is huge for me. My girl wants to play this with me but she likes Mouse and Keyboard and can't grasp playing this with a controller. I prefer M+kb but I can play it with a controller so I could let her play this on my laptop while I play this on my PS5 and we can finally co-op this properly.

They aren't going to be making another big for the foreseeable future but keep adding features and fixing things for free. Amazing
