The long-awaited patch 8 for Baldur’s Gate 3 is scheduled for release on April 15, 2025. This patch is considered one of the most significant updates to the game to date, as it will include a total of 12 new subclasses and a photo mode, promising to further enrich the gaming experience.
A definitive and international patch
According to historical data on patch releases from Larian Studios, these are usually published between 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM, Spanish mainland time, with estimates pointing to 4:00 PM for patch 8. This would mean that players on the west coast of the United States could expect the update around 8:00 AM PST, while those on the east coast could access it at 11:00 AM EST. This aligns with the company’s trend of releasing updates at convenient times for their international players.
It is important to highlight that patch 8 will be the last major update for Baldur’s Gate 3, as confirmed by Larian. Following this release, only bug fixes and minor adjustments will be provided. Expectations are high, especially after previous versions, such as patch 6 and patch 7, also brought significant improvements and content to the game.
The new photo mode will surely be a highly appreciated addition by players, providing the opportunity to capture memorable moments in their adventures through Faerûn. In addition to this, the introduction of new subclasses will expand character customization options, allowing players to explore different play styles and build unique characters.
With the outlook that is presented, Baldur’s Gate 3 fans should be on the lookout for what is coming on April 15 and prepare to revisit their save files.

Baldur’s Gate 3 while it continues to update
On the other hand, Larian Studios, the developer of Baldur’s Gate 3, is preparing to release the anticipated Patch 8, which is expected to be their last major update. This patch will include 12 new subclasses, cross-play functionality, and a photo mode, among other minor changes. Larian has indicated that their focus will shift to their next RPG project, which will not be related to Baldur’s Gate.
In April 2024, Hasbro also mentioned that they are in talks with several partners for the development of the next Baldur’s Gate game. The company’s hope is that it won’t take as long as between the previous releases, a wait of 25 years between Baldur’s Gate 2 and 3. Hasbro is confident that Baldur’s Gate 4 could be on the way before 2048, which would be a relief for fans of the franchise.
With the announcement of new developments, Baldur’s Gate fans are experiencing growing anticipation. Meanwhile, the community can continue to enjoy the available RPG experiences while waiting for these future announcements to materialize. This situation is conducive to further exploring not only the world of Baldur’s Gate but also other notable titles in the genre.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is the latest installment of the legendary role-playing game saga set in the iconic world of Dungeons & Dragons. After 20 years of waiting, Larian Studios (Divinity: Original Sin, Divinity II) takes over from BioWare and Black Isle Studios to forge a title that promises to set new standards for the genre. With a fresh and innovative approach, while staying true to its roots, BG3 welcomes you to what is undoubtedly set to be the most influential RPG in recent years. Would you like to know why?

The stress test for Patch 8 is now underway, and Larian has released an explanatory video detailing how users can join friends playing on other consoles or on PC. This functionality is a long-awaited addition that will expand the gaming community, offering opportunities for collaboration and challenges in a more integrated gaming experience.
Xbox Series S players will now be able to play in split-screen
One of the most anticipated additions by fans is the Photo Mode, which will allow players to capture highlights of their adventure in the world of Faerûn. Additionally, Patch 8 incorporates 12 new subclasses, enriching the customization options for characters. It is relevant to mention that, after the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox Series X, Larian had to remove the split-screen option for Xbox Series S; however, this functionality will be available for Series S users after the implementation of Patch 8, which has been enthusiastically received among players.
Larian Studios has indicated that this test aims to identify and fix known bugs in Patch 8 before its official release to all players. Once the work on this update is completed, the studio will focus its efforts on its next project, called Excalibur. It is important to note that any possible sequel to Baldur’s Gate 3 will be developed by other studios, which marks a new stage for the iconic franchise.
Baldur’s Gate 3 seemed like its journey had already ended. Nothing could be further from the truth. It seems that Larian Studios is still working on it, at least until the beginning of next year. Its next big patch, the eighth, will supposedly be the last, and they have already confirmed that it will introduce a very generous amount of new content. Because if they have to go, let it be with a bang.

Baldur’s Gate 3 seemed like its journey had already ended. Nothing could be further from the truth. It seems that Larian Studios is still working on it, at least until the beginning of next year. Its next major patch, the eighth, will supposedly be the last and they have already confirmed that it will introduce a very generous amount of new content. Because if they have to leave, let it be with a bang.
Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3 will introduce two new features that players have been requesting for a long time: cross-platform play and photo mode. The first will allow us to play multiplayer with Baldur’s Gate 3 players on any device, making it easier than ever to play with our friends. Similarly, the photo mode is a kind of photo booth where you can arrange everything as you like to take the best photos.
This should settle, in terms of code and functionalities, everything that players have been demanding since the game’s release. There is no major functionality that has been requested that remains unaddressed. Or anything else that cannot be included through the powerful tools to modify the game that were added in the game in the previous patch.
More than features: also new options for our characters
That doesn’t mean that Patch 8 doesn’t bring much more than this. Because those who are expecting new skills, animations, summons, and spells, they have them here. But even more importantly, there are also new subclasses. Specifically, one for each of the game’s classes. Adding some very popular subclasses, such as the Bladesinger for wizards, the Path of the Giant for barbarians, or the Way of the Drunken Master for monks, this update will be a blessing for those who couldn’t quite find the exact character flavor they were looking for. Specifically for those who wanted a second playthrough following the path of the Dark Urge, who now have the Death Domain for Clerics or Shadow Magic for Sorcerers to accompany their darkness.
Patch 8 will arrive in early January 2025, without a specific date. The patch will come to all versions of the game, for all platforms, which is available on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Making 2025, once again, a good year to delve into Baldur’s Gate 3.
