Baldur's Gate 3 – Patch Eight

As the final major content update for Baldur's Gate 3, Patch 8 passes the torch for future additions to the community. To aid them in this endeavor, the official Modding Toolkit Update is launching today, bringing with it quality-of-life updates and partial-level editing for existing items, characters, and triggers, all of which will allow increasingly ambitious projects to be realized.

  • Crossplay: Introducing crossplay between PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Mac, so players can party up with friends no matter what platform they play on.
  • Photo Mode: Adventurers can snap photos of their escapades during cutscenes, dialogue, and combat, and edit them to their hearts' content with a slew of post-processing effects (and stickers…)
  • 12 New Subclasses: Brand-new subclasses; new abilities, VFX, animations, summons, and Oathbreaker Knight voiced dialogue; each class has a new way to play.
  • Modding Toolkit Update: Patch 8 brings partial-level editing and quality-of-life updates to BG3's official Modding Toolkit.

Each of Baldur's Gate 3's 12 playable classes gets a new subclass following today's update,  featuring new abilities, animations, VFX, unique summons and powerful cantrips. In the case of the new Paladin subclass, the Oath of the Crown Paladin, new voiced dialogue for the Oathbreaker Knight is also included.

  • Bard – College of Glamour
