The only saving grace is that it's not, er, actually supposed to be this way. In an announcement made to the Baldur's Gate 3 Discord, a senior community manager by the name of Salo writes: "No, the Patch 8 stress test hasn’t yet begun. Yes, PS5 players do currently have access to Patch 8."

Ahead of the now long-awaited Patch 8 with its cross-play, new subclasses, photo mode, and more, a lucky few Baldur's Gate 3 fans seem to have access to the big update ahead of time - and Larian Studios has no idea why.

Several Baldur’s Gate 3 players on PlayStation 5 accidentally gain early access to patch 8, which introduces highly requested features to the game.
