Divinity: Original Sin 2 Arrives on PS5 with Free Upgrade for Existing Players

Larian Studios Brings Acclaimed RPG to Current-Gen Consoles

In a surprise announcement that delighted fans, Larian Studios has released PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 versions of strategy RPG Divinity: Original Sin II – Definitive Edition. The long-awaited PS5 version became available on 15th December 2025, offering players an enhanced way to experience one of the most celebrated role-playing games of recent years.

Why This Release Matters for RPG Enthusiasts

Before achieving massive success with Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios established its reputation with the Divinity series. According to the review aggregate site Metacritic, it garnered an average score of 93, cementing its status as a must-play RPG. The timing of this release is particularly significant, coming shortly after Larian’s announcement of a new Divinity title at The Game Awards, signalling renewed focus on this beloved franchise.

Free Upgrade and Enhanced Experience

Perhaps the most welcome news for existing players is that it is available as a free upgrade from the existing PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Switch versions. This generous offer ensures that veterans of the game can experience it on modern hardware without additional cost. According to its PS Store page, it is PS5 Pro enhanced, though specific technical improvements have not been detailed by the developer.

For new players looking to dive into this epic adventure, Divinity: Original Sin II – Definitive Edition is currently on sale at a 75 percent-off discount price of $14.99 for PlayStation, making it an excellent entry point into the world of Rivellon.

What Makes Divinity: Original Sin 2 Special

The game offers a deeply engaging experience where player choice shapes the narrative. Set in a world where divine powers are forbidden, players embark on a journey filled with tactical combat, intricate storytelling, and meaningful choices. You can play alone, in online multiplayer, or with couch co-op, providing flexible options for different play styles.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Divinity

This PS5 release represents more than just a technical update—it’s part of Larian’s renewed commitment to the Divinity universe. If you enjoyed Baldur’s Gate 3 — easily Larian’s most popular work to date — then it’s worth checking the Divinity games out. Original Sin 2 may not be as glamorous (or quite as welcoming) as the Dungeons & Dragons adaptation, but it’s still a deeply engaging RPG that shares a lot of the same design DNA. With a new Divinity title on the horizon and this enhanced version now available, there’s never been a better time to explore Larian’s original fantasy world.
