After a hiccup accidentally released it early for PS5 players, Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 8 stress test is now out on all platforms, ready to be popped and broken. Larian just asks that, as you're pushing Patch 8 to its limit, report bugs the old fashioned way, OK?

Though, Patch 8 may tempt you toward some more experimental means of communication; in its recent community update on Steam, Larian notes that internal playtesters have taken to sharing issues through Patch 8's new photo mode.
