Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer: How to play co-op explained

radiotimes.com:

In true Dungeons & Dragons form, you can have a party of up to four to join you in your adventures across Faerûn — but it doesn’t just have to be with the regular companions, and so we will reveal all there is know about Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer with how to play co-op explained.

We also have the lowdown on the situation regarding cross-play. By the time the PS5 version comes out, PC veterans who have been playing the game for weeks already could lend a very useful hand in getting their console siblings up to speed, but dark forces may be at play here.

To best balance your party, be sure to check out our builds guide so that you and your friends won’t be stopped as you race to discover the secrets behind the Mind Flayer tadpoles connecting you all.

Enough preamble from us, though, as there is plenty of adventuring to be getting on with!

Yes, Baldur’s Gate 3 is multiplayer. It enables you to travel across the lands and enjoy the story with up to three of your friends who take the place of the party members.

We don’t know how well your friends over Discord will stack up with the Baldur’s Gate 3 voice cast but it should be a good laugh regardless.

If you’re opting to play the game seriously, make sure your friends don’t make ridiculous characters — as you may wish they could change their appearance when they crop up in cutscenes.

You’ll be glad to know that your friends don't have to be privy to any of the intimate scenes in the game that take place between your character and any of the other companions found in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Though you can, your friends might pass judgement if you want to get close with Halsin in his infamous bear form — so having the option respects your privacy and protects you from any ridicule.
