Here's What The Divinity: Original Sin 2 Upgrade Looks Like On Xbox Series X|S - Pure Xbox
December 17, 2025 at 4:15 PM
Divinity: Original Sin 2 gets a surprise next-gen boost on Xbox Series X|S, delivering smoother performance and a sharper look—though not without a few growing pains.
What’s new
- 60FPS on both Xbox Series X and Series S (up from the previous 30FPS cap)
- Noticeable visual touch-ups, with improved image quality and effects (awaiting a full technical breakdown from outlets like Digital Foundry)
- Free upgrade via Xbox Smart Delivery
What players are saying
- Cross-gen online is currently broken: Xbox Series X|S players can’t match with Xbox One users due to an “incompatible version” message
- Mixed performance reports: some users note occasional frame dips on Series consoles, while others report a flawless 60FPS experience
Why it matters
- This is a meaningful modernization of Larian’s acclaimed RPG for current-gen Xbox players
- Because Smart Delivery auto-updates to the new version on modern consoles, there’s no option to stick with the old build—which likely contributes to the cross-gen matchmaking issue. A toggle or optional upgrade path could help restore Xbox One/Series compatibility
Worth watching
- Footage from SkyCaptin5 and The Games Tester on YouTube showcases the smoother 60FPS gameplay and visual uplift
Bottom line
- A strong—and free—upgrade that makes Divinity: Original Sin 2 feel great on Series X|S. Now it just needs a fix for cross-gen online and a clear set of patch notes.
