Larian Studios hasn't finished up work on Baldur's Gate 3 just yet. The studio has issued seven major patches for the game, adding all new content and gameplay for players looking to jump in for another run. All good things must come to an end though, with the game's final patch now set to rollout.
Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 was first announced in November last year, with Larian confirming that it would indeed be the final major update to the game. Now, after months of testing, the patch is ready to rollout for PC and consoles on the 15th of April.
Patch 8 will introduce split-screen multiplayer on Xbox Series S consoles, a huge achievement given the fact that at one point, the Xbox version of the game was almost cancelled due to difficulties getting this feature working on Xbox Series S. Microsoft eventually made a concession to its Xbox Series X/S parity rules, enabling Baldur's Gate 3 to release on Xbox Series S without split-screen, while the more powerful Xbox Series X had the feature at launch.
More excitingly for fans, this patch also adds 12 new subclasses to the game, opening things up for even more creative and diverse characters. Cross-play multiplayer is also coming with the new patch, as well as a Photo Mode.
