In a surprise mix of events, Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 went live earlier than expected on PS5 by mistake, and both players and developers were caught off guard because they weren’t expecting it at all. In a brief that was made public, they mentioned that the update was released ahead of schedule, leaving fans very confused.
The early release of Patch 8 really threw players off—some were frustrated, while others were surprised. Some ran into unexpected bugs and performance issues. The essence of the patch was to bring very big gameplay improvements, balance tweaks, and bug fixes, but since it came out earlier than expected, Larian Studios might have to gear up and fix some surprise problems before the official launch.
Even with this mistake, Baldur’s Gate 3 is still one of the most loved RPGs out there, and fans can't wait for the updates to keep coming out. This accidental PS5 release gave players an earlier idea of what they should expect, but it also made them worry a whole lot about bugs and fixes. Larian has yet to come out and say if the patch will stay or if they will take it down for now.
