Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 Accidentally Released Early to PS5 Players

(*3*)

Baldur’s Gate 3’s long-awaited Patch 8 is at present accessible to gamers on PS5…but it surely’s not supposed to be.

In a social media post today, the official Larian Studios account revealed that PS5 gamers do certainly have entry to Patch 8 by way of what appears to be an accident someplace, because the patch itself is not prepared for prime time.

“No, the Patch 8 stress take a look at hasn’t but begun,” the publish reads. “Sure, PS5 gamers do at present have entry to Patch 8. Whereas we work with our companions to perceive what’s occurring, please be aware that any new saves made whereas on Patch 8 won’t be suitable with Patch 7.

“How’s your Monday going?”

Patch 8 was first introduced again in December and is the ultimate main replace anticipated for Baldur’s Gate 3. It is deliberate to add cross-platform development and play, photograph mode, and 12 new subclasses, in addition to new skills, animations, VFX, summons, cantrips, and even voicelines. It is a large replace that guarantees to actually shake issues up a 12 months and a half after launch, and whereas it is seemingly due out this month, right now’s PS5 launch appears to have jumped the gun a bit.

Late final month, Larian opened registrations for a stress take a look at of Patch 8, which it opened to gamers on PC by way of Steam and on console by way of Xbox and PlayStation. Nevertheless, that stress take a look at hasn’t truly occurred but, and as Larian wrote, this launch on PS5 will not be the stress take a look at.

For now, it is most likely really useful for PS5 gamers not to obtain this patch simply but in case it comes with unintended bugs or different points, and as Larian says, saves will not be suitable with Patch 7 in case you want to roll again for any purpose. Proceed with warning right here.

However the excellent news is that even when this was an error, it appears like Larian is inching a lot nearer to releasing Patch 8 in earnest. We’ll be holding an eye fixed out for information of the particular stress take a look at and the discharge itself, which appears doubtless to make what we known as a ten/10 sport at launch even higher.
