Larian Studios appears to be readying a native PS5 port of Divinity: Original Sin 2, the critically acclaimed RPG it made prior to Baldur's Gate 3. The game has always been playable on Sony's current-gen console via backwards compatibility, but bringing it natively to PS5 could open it up to graphical improvements as well as DualSense controller utilisation. It's received a PEGI age rating for a PS5 version, all but confirming the port is in the works.
The game was originally ported to PS4 in 2018 as an Enhanced Edition for consoles, at which point we awarded a 9/10 rating in our review. "With stellar writing, challenging combat, a compelling central quest, and dozens of worthwhile side activities, Divinity: Original Sin II is one of the finest role-playing games available on PlayStation 4," we said. "There’s the occasional small issue and some scant technical hiccups – particularly when playing online – but these are minor quibbles. This is a dense, engrossing adventure, packed to the hilt with stories worth hearing, conflicts you’ll want to resolve, and secret treasures just begging to be discovered."
Would you revisit Divinity: Original Sin 2 on PS5, or be open to playing it for the first time after experiencing Baldur's Gate 3? Let us know in the comments below.

Divinity Original Sin II was my first CRPG 3 years ago and I absolutely loved it. I'll happily get it again on PS5!
Another REMASTER!!! IT'S ONLY 7 YEARS OLD (6 years for console)!!!!
/S
Been a while since I've rolled a barrelmancer so I'm kinda excited to go back. The class was severely nerfed in BG3.
Hopefully a free upgrade for those that own the ps4 version or a cheap upgrade
Yes, please. I'll give it a go
I played the arse out of D:OS1, but couldn't get into 2 at all.
@Dragon83 i'm hoping the same, but I'm happy with the PS4 version if it is too costly. It's Larian though, so I trust them to do the right thing.
I really hope Larian also releases a patch/native PS5 version of Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition. I recently tried to get into it but the awful 30 FPS mode with no way to toggle Performance Mode put me away from playing it in the first hour.
@MrPeanutbutterz I think the combat system was weaker overall and the game had a very dull act 3 and an excellent act 1. Which is funny because it got even worse in BG3 while also having a dull act 3 and an incredible act 1.
I'll be buying this again, it's one of my all time favourites.
Hopefully with a physical release too. I'd def get it.
I have the PS4 platinum for this incredible game, wasnt easy. I hope they release a physical copy!
counting in the fact that native ps4 version runs on ps5 in 30-25 fps, I'd love to revisit this game when it is upgraded.
I keep falling off this game for some reason. I’ve bought it on PS and on steam. After falling in love with BG3 I was sure I would get into this but for some reason it just doesn’t pull me in the same way.
I've only played BG3, but is DOS2 any good or perhaps better than BG3?
@GilgaMax309 Its not better, but its a fantastic experience. Particularly the writing and music
Yay! I still have my copy, I wonder if we will get a free update ー would totally replay it
@Genghis_Schlonng That's all I needed to read. As long as the writing and music is top tier, I'm all for it. Thanks for the response mate!
@GilgaMax309 better is subjective. BG3 is probably slightly better overall in my estimation but I played through both with a full team of 4 (my wife, two friends and myself) and they preferred the combat in D2OS. You get more to do each turn per character and the synergistic parts feel deeper so it lead to deeper discussion and planning.
Both fantastic though but we're very hype to play this again.
I own the PS4 version and I've struggled to get into it after BG3 but that's mainly down to me not giving it the time it deserves to properly get into it. Definitely happy to pick up the PS5 version
I either bought Divinity 2 or came very close to it as its price was the lowest ever in a digital sale recently.
I will check the price at Black Friday, but I haven't finished BG3 and that has solid replay value.
But yeah, cool to see a native version if it means improvements.
