The hope with Patch 3 is Larian is able to address ongoing performance issues, particularly with Act 3, across PC and console now the sprawling Dungeons and Dragons-themed role-playing game is out on PlayStation 5.
As IGN reported, Baldur's Gate 3’s split-screen mostly works fine, but performance tanks when two characters explore different parts of a city, with the frames per second fluctuating especially in the densely populated Act 3.
Split-screen has proven to be a pain point for Baldur's Gate 3, particularly on Xbox. Larian compromised by removing split-screen from the Xbox Series S version, though it may get the feature at a later date.
Larian Studios is also working on cross-play support that will allow PS5 owners to hop on their PC and pick up where they left off and vice versa.
In IGN’s review of Baldur's Gate 3, which returned a 10/10, we said: "With crunchy, tactical RPG combat, a memorable story with complex characters, highly polished cinematic presentation, and a world that always rewards exploration and creativity, Baldur's Gate 3 is the new high-water mark for CRPGs."
