Larian Studios is now releasing Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2, at no extra cost for owners of the older versions. No remaster hype, no new full-price edition. Just a technical update for one of the strongest RPG experiences of the last decade.
Divinity: Original Sin II – Definitive Edition on new consoles
The game itself is not new. It has been around since 2018. Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition as a benchmark for complex, reactive role-playing games. Decisions have consequences, battles require planning instead of button-mashing, and the world noticeably reacts to what the player does... or doesn't do.
The new versions aren't aiming for a complete reinvention of the content, but rather a clean technical overhaul. Shorter loading times, more stable performance, and a modern presentation are the minimum to expect in 2025, plus PS5 Pro support. Larian hasn't yet provided any specific details regarding resolution or frame rate. Frankly, that's the only remaining question to keep an eye on.
Free upgrade instead of new sale
Owners of the PS4, Xbox One, or Switch version receive the upgrade for free. Period. No add-ons, no deluxe excuse. The timing is also ideal for newcomers: the title is currently heavily discounted and costs €14,99, depending on the platform.
Especially in the context of Baldur's Gate III It comes across as a confident reminder. Larian knows where they come from. And they don't treat their own back catalog game like a burden, but like a durable, high-quality product.
Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition It doesn't rely on technical tricks, but on system depth. Elemental effects, class freedom, co-op for up to four players – none of it feels dated even today. Anyone who enjoys tactical role-playing games and values genuine freedom of choice will still find one of the best overall packages on the market here.
At the Game Awards, it was also Divinity announced, a new RPG set in Rivellon, bigger and deeper than anything before.
