If you are a Baldur’s Gate 3 or The Crew 2 player, some big updates for you have hit Stadia this week.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8
This patch comes with a tremendous number of changes. You can find a complete list of them on the Larian forums. The highlights include
- There is a new Bard class with College of Lore and College of Valour subclasses.
- You can now use musical instruments, usable by any class with the Performer feat at Level 4.
- There are now playable gnomes with three subraces: rock gnomes, forest gnomes, and deep gnomes. Gnomes start with Gnome Cunning and +2 Intelligence. Added gnome reactivity to dialogues and situations.
- Bunch of new spells: Calm Emotions, Enthral, Heroism, Phantasmal Force, and Vicious Mockery. Bards, try out Cutting Words, Song of Rest, and a new tadpole power.
- There is new Swarm AI
- You can use a shovel to dig up treasures and secrets throughout Act 1.
- Sustained emotion acting in cinematics. New facial animations allow characters to continue emoting realistically while you make decisions in dialogue.
- Cinematic acting for background characters, who now react to the drama unfolding in dialogues.
- Implemented the first phase of our networking improvements: players with slower and less reliable internet connections should see improvements to stability and lag in multiplayer.
- Extensive UI updates.
The Crew 2 Season 6 Update
As you can see from the above infographic, the Season 6 update for The Crew 2 brings with it new cars, new playgrounds, new items and a bunch of new weekly events.
The update also brought with it significantly improved visuals for Stadia along with other platforms. Some other platforms are also seeing a boost to 60 FPS that, unfortunately, has not (yet at least) hit Stadia.
You can find the complete list of changes in the Seasons 6 page here and then join the list of 85,000 people who have played The Crew 2 on Stadia.
