Last December, Larian revealed its next game would be Divinity, a return to the series of the same name. The last entry in the Divinity series was Divinity: Original Sin 2 in 2017, well before Larian exploded into the mainstream with Baldur’s Gate 3.
So, it’s no surprise that players went to check Divinity: Original Sin 2 out, now that we know that there will be another entry in the series. But what’s especially impressive is that a considerable number of these players are actually sticking with it, as even more than a month on from the Divinity reveal, it’s easily surpassing 10,000 concurrent players on Steam alone.
New Divinity: Original Sin 2 Players Are Sticking With The Game, At Least For Now
Looking at the figures on SteamDB, we can see that the highest concurrent player count after the Divinity reveal was 27,409 on January 4. Since then, it’s been dipping a bit, but it’s still consistently hitting well over 10,000.
It might not seem too surprising at first, considering Baldur’s Gate 3 still does live service numbers, but it’s worth considering that D:OS2 is a lot less casual-friendly, at least in my humble opinion. Whether it’s the different, non-DnD combat system or the difficulty spikes, it was reasonable to suspect that more than a few players would drop off fairly quickly, but the game is definitely clinging onto an impressive amount of its new fans.
This isn’t even taking into account those who have started playing on Switch 2, as it was ported to the console on December 15, 2025, alongside next-gen updates on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
If you are getting into D:OS2, don’t be afraid to put the difficulty down. All you need to do is look at the completion rate of the game’s honour mode in comparison to Baldur’s Gate 3’s to see that this is quite a bit more challenging. We’ll have to wait and see if this will be the case in the upcoming Divinity as well, as right now, we don’t know much about its gameplay, other than that it will once again feature turn-based, party-based combat.
