Cross-play is enabled between the iPad version and the PC/Mac version (I played with my friend who was playing on Steam), but it also supports cross-save progression, though it only seems to work between the iPad and Mac versions of the game. There might be some very slight differences in texture quality and effects, and of course, there's the 30FPS cap, but other than that, I was very impressed with how good it looks on the tablet.ĭivinity 2 also has an interesting relationship with all of the various versions floating around. On an iPad Pro 12.9 (2020), you're looking at visuals that about match the 1440p max resolution of the PC game. That power is quite impressive, as there are almost no visual differences between the iPad version and the PC version. In about an hour of playtime, my battery dropped almost 30% as I trudged through the game's opening scenes. Unfortunately, like many mobile games that are graphically demanding, the battery life takes a significant hit. There are almost no visual differences between the iPad version and the PC version My playing time was spent on a 2020 model, so I was locked out from the extra frames, but I also didn't experience any drops either.

You'll need at least an iPad Pro from 2018 or 2020 to run it, and if you have 2021's iPad Pro, you can tap into the power of the M1 chipset and enjoy Divinity 2 at 60 FPS. I took a look at how well the iPad version runs, the game's new features, and how it stacks up to the PC version and the other portable version of the game on the Nintendo Switch.ĭivinity 2 on the iPad was built taking the latest iPad technology into account, and because of this, you can't just run the game on any ol' iPad. This latest version of Divinity: Original Sin 2, developed in tandem with Elverils, a studio known for porting desktop games to mobile platforms, takes full advantage of the power of the iPad and does an excellent job and translating the 100-hour RPG game to the tablet, maybe even more so than its console counterparts, but only if you own the right hardware. Now it makes yet another leap onto the iPad, though this version is much more than a simple conversion. Since its release on the PC, it leaped both the Xbox and Playstation in 2018 and then found its way onto the Mac and Nintendo Switch the following year. It's a beast of a game, one that fans of high-fantasy and tabletop adventure games like Dungeons & Dragons will absolutely adore. Released on the PC almost four years ago, Divinity: Original Sin 2 was a huge critical and commercial success, garnering many Game of the Year awards and being hailed by many as one of the best RPGs of all time, thanks in part to its combat complexity and interactivity.
