Beyond the visuals, I was curious how the game would scale and how it would run when I zoom in and out quickly and in the early parts that have a few explosions and particle effects. When I first launched Divinity: Original Sin 2 on iPad, I was pretty amazed by how good it looks considering I’m not on the new iPad Pro that has an M1 chip. I’ve played a lot of Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Nintendo Switch both docked and handheld and while the image quality hit is massive there, the performance was very good for the most part and a huge leap in quality over releases like Wasteland 2 and Pillars of Eternity on Nintendo Switch. It is a big step up above the Nintendo Switch version.

Visually, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is stunning on my iPad. I think this is now the largest iOS game exceeding even the likes of XCOM 2 and Genshin Impact‘s size with everything installed and updated as well. I was initially surprised at the small download size compared to other platforms but the total size of just over 17GB (make sure you have 18GB free) makes sense. I had to redo a few minutes of gameplay because I didn’t have that much free space initially. There is no warning for this so make sure you have enough free space. The initial download is under 4GB but you will need to download about 13GB from within the game from when you finish off the initial section. Before getting into the actual game on iPad, there are a few things to keep in mind. I’ve played it over the last few days on iPad Pro (2020) and it looks and runs brilliantly in the opening hours that I’ve replayed a few times now to check different control schemes, local co-op, and more. I’ve played Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Steam, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch over the years and while the Switch version is impressive for the platform, I’ve been blown away by how good Divinity: Original Sin 2 is on iPad. Ever since it was revealed at WWDC last year, I’ve been looking forward to playing Larian Studios’ amazing Divinity: Original Sin 2 ($24.99) on yet another platform.
