Baldur's Gate 3: How to play multiplayer, create rooms and invite your friends

Baldur's Gate 3 is a role-playing title that can be enjoyed in the company of friends and other players to make the experience much more fun. In this game up to a maximum of 4 players can share adventures, but in case it is your first time here, we are going to quickly explain in this entry of our guide how you can play multiplayer, create private games, or invite your friends in this new work of Larian Studios.


How to join another player's game online?

To be able to play Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer and join the game that another player has created, all you have to do is follow these steps:


  • Access the "Multiplayer" section in the main menu of the title.
  • As long as you are connected to the internet, accessing this section will show all the online rooms and servers that are available to you at this moment.
  • Choose the game you want to join and select it.
  • Then click on the bottom button that says "Connect".

Remember that you can customize the game search by changing some filter parameters on the right side of the screen if, for example, you are interested in only having your friends' games appear in the list or only games of a certain level.

In the server list you can also see how many players there are already in that game or where they are in the world of Baldur's Gate 3, to more easily decide which game is ideal for you.

How to create a multiplayer game and invite friends?

To create your own multiplayer game in Baldur's Gate 3 you must follow these steps:

  • Access the "Multiplayer" section in the main menu of the title.
  • Once on the next screen select the "Create" button at the bottom.
  • The game will create a custom room in which you will be the host or session leader.
  • You can now adjust the game options in the preferences on the right.
  • When you're done, hit the "Start" button at the bottom.

Before starting the new game in the custom room, remember that you can click on the boxes with the "+" symbol to invite your friends to join the room. However, it is still possible to invite friends later, you don't have to do it right at the beginning.

Any time you want to invite friends to your game or reorganize your current party, open the menu with the "Esc" key while you are playing and select the "Session" option. This will display a screen in which the session leader (that is, you because you have created the game), can make changes to the group in the room such as inviting players or reassigning characters from fellow members of the group.
