Does Baldur's Gate 3 Have Crossplay?
•Current Status: As of the latest updates, Baldur’s Gate 3 does not support crossplay. This means players on different platforms (PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S) cannot play multiplayer together across these platforms.
•Future Prospects: Larian Studios has confirmed through various channels, including posts on X, that crossplay is in their development plans. However, there hasn't been a definitive release date for this feature. They've indicated that it's still being worked on, with a likelihood of it coming "further down the road."
Cross-Progression/Cross-Save
•What It Is: Although crossplay isn't available, Baldur's Gate 3 does support cross-platform progression. This feature allows you to save your game on one platform and continue your progress on another where you own the game.
How to Use:
1.Create a Larian Account: You need to have a Larian Studios account to utilize cross-saves.
2.Enable Cross-Save: On PC, this option might only appear if you're using a controller. On consoles, you can enable this from the main menu.
3.Sync Your Saves: After enabling, your saves will sync with the cloud. Restart the game on another platform, and you should see the option to continue from your cloud save.
4.Limitations: Remember, cross-save does not mean crossplay. Also, using mods on PC can make your saves incompatible with console versions.
Why Crossplay Matters
•Community Engagement: Crossplay would significantly enhance community interaction by allowing friends on different platforms to play together, enhancing the social aspect of the game.
•Game Longevity: It could extend the game's life by keeping the player base active and engaged across all platforms.
Conclusion
While crossplay is not currently available for Baldur’s Gate 3, it remains a feature that Larian Studios is actively developing. Cross-progression, however, is fully supported, allowing players to continue their adventures across PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S with some setup involved.
Keep an eye on updates from Larian Studios or through gaming news outlets for the implementation of crossplay, as it would be a substantial addition to the game's multiplayer experience. |
