One of the most anticipated updates for Baldur’s Gate 3, and perhaps its final one, has now accidentally been released to PlayStation 5 players. The patch, adding a bunch of new content and numerous subclasses, was supposed to come out later this year, and the devs are on the case.
Earlier on Jan. 27, reports from players started cropping up claiming that the eighth and likely final update for Baldur’s Gate 3 has mysteriously become available to players on the PS5 way ahead of its planned release and upcoming stress test. The players who had gained access to this highly anticipated patch said that they weren’t signed up to any sort of stress test or other early access program, and had no idea how the patch appeared in their games. Larian has since responded to this issue, stating that they’re “working to understand what’s going on” and warned players against making saves on the latest patch since “any saves made while on Patch 8 will not be compatible with Patch 7.”
