Divinity: Original Sin 2, the highest-rated PC game of 2017 on Metacritic from Larian Studios, is finally available for Mac.

With over 200 awards and more than 2 million copies sold, Original Sin 2 is one of the most famous and highly rated role-playing games in history and could easily become the top RPG for Mac.

The game was originally revealed during last year’s Apple Keynote event, which was highly unusual as Apple rarely even acknowledges Mac gaming. But such a big reveal definitely deserved an exception, as it’s the first game ever to include unique macOS features.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 for Mac was developed in a partnership between Mac porting studio Elverils and the Apple Metal Engineering Team. This is the first time we see the Apple Metal Engineering team publicly working with a developer to bring a game to the Mac and given the many great MacOS features, we hope it won’t be the last time.

About Divinity: Original Sin 2 for Mac

The Mac version of the game features all the content from the Windows version of the Definitive Edition without compromising graphical fidelity. But this port is much more ambitious than that. Divinity 2’s Mac version comes with special features for MacBook Pros, such as TouchBar support for quick access to in-game actions, such as the journal or map.

This is also the first macOS title to support HDR, something reserved so far to the Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and high-end Windows gaming.

A port without compromise: A 64-bit, Metal-powered native game.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 also supports iCloud-powered backups and cross-play between Windows and macOS.
