Everything New in Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8

As a seasoned gamer with decades worth of experience under my belt, let me tell you that Baldur’s Gate 3 has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. From its initial release to the countless updates and now Patch 8 – I can hardly contain my excitement!


Recently, Baldur’s Gate 3, a game that revitalized the CRPG genre, made a significant impact in the gaming world. Since its release, developer Larian Studios has consistently added new content, growing the already expansive RPG eightfold. However, they’re not stopping there. After announcing mod support, which has been incredibly successful with over 70 million total downloads, they recently announced Baldur’s Gate Patch 8 for 2025. This update will feature a photo mode, cross-play compatibility, and an additional 12 subclasses!

Everything Coming to Baldur’s Gate 3 in Patch 8

As a dedicated Baldur’s Gate 3 gamer, I’m thrilled about Patch 8! This upcoming update is shaping up to be an epic adventure for those of us still diving into the game or planning a return in the new year. From what I’ve read in the latest blog post, it seems like we’ll get cross-play support, a photo mode, new subclasses, bug squashing, and a ton of quality-of-life enhancements. For now, let’s zero in on some standout additions, like:

Cross-Play Support

In simpler terms, the multi-platform compatibility for Baldur’s Gate 3 is being introduced, enabling gameplay on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and also Mac. This cross-play functionality ensures that your game progress can be saved and continued from any device you choose to play on.

Additionally, the multiplayer lobbies within this game enable invitations to players from any platform using the Larian Network!

Photo Mode

As an avid in-game screenshot taker, I’m thrilled when developers incorporate a photo mode. Previously, capturing a screenshot in Baldur’s Gate 3 was more of a hassle due to the cumbersome menu and distant camera view. However, that’s all set to improve with Patch 8, as it brings a comprehensive photo mode into play. This new feature offers:

  • Camera Settings
  • Lens Settings
  • Scene Settings
  • Post Processing Effects
  • Frames
  • Stickers

12 New Subclasses

  • Bard – College of Glamour
  • Barbarian – Path of Giants

Prior to making Patch 8 accessible to all users in 2025, the studio plans to conduct thorough rigorous tests to make sure it’s robust enough for the community.
