Larian Studios announced a new fantasy RPG called Divinity. They also dropped a native current-gen upgrade for Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition. This free update is hitting PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, and the Nintendo Switch 2, providing better performance over old backward compatible versions.
Owners of the last-gen version get this upgrade for nothing. People just need to grab it from their new console's store page. The only exception is Japan, where moving from a PS4 or Switch copy costs a small fee.
The original game is still considered a top-tier CRPG. It scored extremely high with critics for its story and gameplay, even if Baldur's Gate 3 later topped it. Playing it now offers good background lore for the newly announced title, but jumping straight into the new game later is also fine.
