Summary
Larian Studios has released a new hotfix forBaldur’s Gate 3, addressing some frustrating bugs along with persistent gameplay issues reported by players. Although the developer has concluded major content updates forBaldur’s Gate 3, fans can expect the occasional maintenance patch now and then as the RPG continues to boast massive player counts nearly two years post-launch.
Following the mammothBaldur’s Gate 3Patch 8 release in April,Larian Studios moved on to new projects, with the developer currently hard at work on multiple games. Support for the 2023 RPG continues, however, with peak concurrent player counts on Steam surpassing 100,000 each month and sales surpassing 15 million copies to date. WhileBaldur’s Gate 3’s content is complete, new patches will continue to roll out in order to fix any issues or make any adjustments needed to keep the title going strong well into the future.
A newBaldur’s Gate 3hotfix has been released across all platforms, with Larian Studios sharing the details onSteam. According to the patch notes, the update focuses exclusively on bug and crash fixes, along with adjustments to the game’s modding toolkit. Crashes impacting players changing their input mode while launching a multiplayer game or when suspending the game while traveling between regions while using Xbox cross-play have been fixed, along with one affecting fans playing on split-screen with DLSS on Vulkan. A bug allowing players to enable cross-play while running a non-cross-play session has also been addressed, and the game’s UI has also seen some tweaks, including the removal of developer text appearing on the Upcast Bonus tooltip when upcasting Shadow Blade. For players unsurehow to enable cross-play, Larian also included a tutorial detailing the process along with the new patch notes.
As multiplayer titles continue to find huge popularity,Baldur’s Gate 3inspired many to return to solo titles, with the game’s director Swen Vincke recently commenting on the notion thatsingle-player titles are dead. According to Vincke, in order for single-player games to succeed, they must simply “be good,” something seen prominently in 2025 with the wild success of titles likeClair Obscur: Expedition 33andKingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Although many fans held out hope foraBaldur’s Gate 3DLC, Vincke recently confirmed that this would not come to pass. The future of the franchise remains in question, as Larian Studios won’t be returning to developBaldur’s Gate 4.Despite this, Hasbro still has hopes for a follow-up to the 2023 mega-hit, with multiple sources reportedly interested in carrying the torch. The game may be many years away, but dedicated fans are curious to see if another lucky studio could potentially fill Larian’s shoes.
