Exciting news for RPG enthusiasts: Divinity: Original Sin 2 has finally arrived on the PS5, over a year after whispers of its release began circulating. But here's where it gets even better—existing PS4 owners can upgrade to the PS5 version for free, making it a no-brainer for fans of the series. This stealthy launch from Larian Studios comes fresh off their major Divinity announcement at The Game Awards, leaving many to wonder what enhancements the PS5 edition brings to the table. While details are scarce, the mere fact that it’s a free upgrade is a win for players.
If you’ve been captivated by Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian’s blockbuster hit, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a must-play. And this is the part most people miss—while it may not have the same polish or accessibility as its D&D-inspired counterpart, it’s a richly immersive RPG that shares the same core design philosophy. Think of it as a deeper dive into Larian’s storytelling and mechanics, albeit with a slightly steeper learning curve.
Controversial take alert: Some might argue that Divinity: Original Sin 2 is actually the superior game for hardcore RPG fans, thanks to its intricate systems and unforgiving gameplay. What do you think? Is Baldur’s Gate 3 the crown jewel, or does Divinity deserve more credit? Let’s spark a debate in the comments.
