Larian Studios has shipped a free current-generation update for Divinity: Original Sin 2. The upgrade brings the 2017 RPG forward for modern hardware without charging existing owners.
The update targets current-gen platforms with performance and compatibility improvements. Players who own the game can access the upgrade at no additional cost.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 originally launched on PC in 2017 before expanding to consoles and mobile platforms through its Definitive Edition. The game became a landmark title in the CRPG genre with its deep turn-based combat system and environmental interactions.
The timing puts fresh attention on one of Larian’s earlier successes. The studio became a household name after Baldur’s Gate 3 dominated 2023 with multiple Game of the Year awards. Many players discovered Larian through BG3 and have been looking backward at the studio’s catalog.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is known for its brutal difficulty curve and complex character building. The game features a party-based combat system built around elemental surfaces and physics-based tactics. Players can tackle the campaign solo or in co-op mode both online and locally depending on platform.
Larian is refreshing a game that helped put them on the map. Divinity: Original Sin 2‘s commercial and critical success gave the studio the credibility to secure the Baldur’s Gate license from Wizards of the Coast. Now with BG3‘s massive success bringing new eyes to their work, a current-gen update for Divinity: Original Sin 2 could introduce the game to a fresh wave of players ahead of the release of the next Divinity game.
