Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8: Oops, Wrong Release!

Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 Released Early on PS5

Larian Studios accidentally released Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 on PS5 early. This update, intended for a stress test, was available for a few hours before being removed.

What Happened?

The unintentional release was due to a mistake by Larian’s partners. The studio confirmed the error on their website and social media, emphasizing that this version is unsupported and incompatible with Patch 7.

Issues for Players

• Incompatible Saves: Saves created with Patch 8 are not compatible with Patch 7.
• Mod Issues: Players will likely experience compatibility problems with mods.
• Multiplayer Limitations: Joining players on Patch 7 will be impossible.

Larian’s Recommendation

Larian recommends uninstalling and reinstalling Baldur’s Gate 3 to revert to Patch 7. However, they cannot guarantee save compatibility if Patch 8 is released.

Patch 8 Details

Patch 8 is the final content update, including 12 new subclasses, cross-play, and new camera features. A stress test was planned before the official release to identify potential issues.

The stress test is still planned, with registration remaining open. Despite the early release hiccup, players can look forward to the official launch of Patch 8 soon.
