The Steam launch of Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition now has cross-platform saves with the Switch model, which launched final evening. PC peeps can add their saves to the cloud to take out and about on Nintendo’s wee console, which may additionally add again to the digital æther. So yep, you’ll be able to swap the identical save forwards and backwards between methods. I nonetheless haven’t completed Div as a result of it’s so chuffing large however I think about that, if I had a Switch, I’d be extra inclined to take action if I may typically take the fantasy RPG across the flat or out.
“It works pretty simply: once you buy DOS2 from the E-Shop and load up the game, you’ll be asked if you want to link to Steam,” builders Larian defined in last night’s announcement.
“If you choose to, it’ll automatically grab your saves from the elusive and impenetrable Steam cloud (you’ll see how we managed this next week), and your save will be playable on the Switch. It works vice-versa, too. Finished with a game? It’ll upload the save back into the cloud. You’ll need to be connected to the internet as well as Nintendo’s online service.”
The reliance on Steam infrastructure means no, this is not going to work with the GOG version. And no, this doesn’t allow cross-platform multiplayer both.
Last evening’s replace additionally added a brand new ‘Gift Bag’ of player-made mods, one other six that Larian favored sufficient so as to add to the game as official choices. These embody new crafting recipes, character respecs via a Magic Mirror, letting all characters speak to animals, and, better of all, the power to plant a herb backyard.
Our former Adam (RPS in peace) had praise aplenty for the unique Original Sin 2, then Rich McCormick offered even more for the Definitive Edition which got here as a free replace in 2018. “Divinity: Original Sin 2 was bright and brilliant at launch, and its Definitive Edition has only made it bigger and better,” Rich stated.
Original Sin 2 has a 40% low cost on Steam proper now, bringing it right down to £18/€27/$27. The identical low cost is on GOG too however, welp, that doesn’t have PC-Switch cross-platform saves. GOG variations find yourself inferior too typically.
Disclosure: Adam LEFT US to go work for Larian. I don’t know what he’s doing there. I hope he’s effectively. Be effectively, Adam. I miss you.
