Yes — Baldur’s Gate 3 now supports cross‑play across Windows PC, macOS, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 via the Larian Network. The functionality arrived with the Patch 8 rollout (the Patch 8 stress test and subsequent release in 2025) and includes cross‑progression when you link your platform account to a Larian account, so you can join friends on other systems. See Larian’s official Patch 8 announcement for details. (https://baldursgate3.game/news/community-update-33-patch-8-stress-test-now-live_134)
To use cross‑play you need to: - Link your platform account to a Larian account and sign in from the game launcher, - Enable Cross‑Play from the multiplayer online settings (do this from the title/multiplayer menu), and - Add friends by their Larian username to invite them into a cross‑play lobby. Mods can still be used in cross‑play but all players must have matching mod versions and consoles have a mod limit (console/mod compatibility is handled by the game’s Mod Verification window). For a step‑by‑step setup and tips about common issues, see Polygon’s cross‑play guide and Larian’s Patch 8 notes.
