Baldur’s Gate 3’s long-awaited Patch 7, which draws a line under Larian’s blockbuster Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game a year after launch, is finally out now on PC alongside lengthy patch notes, below.

"We are still working on bringing crossplay to Baldur’s Gate 3, and like Patch 7, this requires a lot of work and testing before we're prepared to release it into the wild," Larian said.
"We’ve still got a few more patches up our sleeve for
