Before Larian Studios worked on the beloved Dungeons & Dragons-esqueBaldur’s Gate 3, it created another banger RPG sequel,Divinity: Original Sin 2- and after more than four years on last-gen consoles, the Definitive Edition is finally getting an official version for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 has long been playable on both the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, but it was off a copy that was technically originally intended for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This means players on current-gen platforms can’t hit 60 frames per second and may suffer from other performance-related issues. It also means that things like faster load times could be achieved with a native port.
As the PlayStation storelistingfor the game describes it, “Although this game is playable on PS5, some features available on PS4 may be absent.” It looks like current-gen console players don’t have to worry about missing features or poor performance anymore, however - as seen on the website for game content rating systemPEGI, both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of Divinity: Original Sin 2’s Definitive Edition have received new ratings.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more.

If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
