Larian Drops Free Current-Gen Upgrade of Divinity: Original Sin 2 After New Divinity Reveal

Free upgrades refresh the 2017 classic, fueling a measurable return to Rivellon on Steam.

Overview

  • Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition is now available natively on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2, with no-cost upgrades for prior owners.
  • The new releases emphasize higher resolution and smoother frame rates, with listings and footage indicating 60fps rather than added content or a full remaster.
  • Following the announcement, the game reached a 24-hour peak of 10,898 players on Steam, with multiple older Divinity titles also posting noticeable player increases.
  • Larian’s newly announced Divinity is billed as the studio’s most ambitious RPG to date, but gameplay details, target platforms, and a release window remain unannounced.
  • Larian’s publishing director said the reveal’s darker, adult tone was designed to treat the audience with intellectual respect rather than to provoke for shock value.
