The newest patch adds 12 new subclasses, photo mode, and what we've all been waiting for: Baldur's Gate 3 cross play!

Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 8 is coming with a photo mode, cross-play, and 12 new subclasses. If you thought you were done with the ambitious RPG, think again.

That's a lot for a patch for a narratively-driven RPG, but that's becoming Larian's M.O. Patch 7 introduced mod support on consoles and thirteen new endings, so it's natural for the developers to keep expanding the game.

Larian Studios has announced Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 for 2025, bringing cross-play, photo mode, and 12 new subclasses.

So far, I’ve been able to hold myself back from diving headfirst into Baldur’s Gate 3 again by reminding myself that I have too many other games to finish. I can’t justify spending over 100 hours on something I’ve already finished that also launched last year.

Characters can learn spells from scrolls in Baldur's Gate 3. Use this to round out your spellbook with any you may have missed.

Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3 includes cross-play, photo mode, and 12 new sub-classes to enhance gameplay. Stress testing aims to prevent post-patch hotfixes, with cross-play being the final feature added due to technical complexities.

In its next and last major update to the game, Larian Studios will bring cross-play, 12 new subclasses and a photo mode to 'Baldur's Gate III' next year.
