Larian Studios has announced the release of Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition on the latest consoles: PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series S|X. While the game was previously accessible on older consoles like PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One through backward compatibility, the new native version promises enhanced performance, offering a fresh experience for returning players.

However, players in Japan looking to upgrade from Nintendo Switch to Nintendo Switch 2 or from PS4 to PS5 will incur a nominal fee of ¥100.
A Legacy of Excellence in cRPGs
Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition initially launched in 2018, enhancing the base game by expanding its storyline and improving gameplay mechanics. Widely celebrated as one of the finest cRPG experiences, the original game received accolades from both critics and fans. Featuring an engaging story, captivating characters, and intelligent writing, the game stands out as a masterclass in RPG design.
