Larian Studios’ critically acclaimed RPG, Divinity: Original Sin 2, just dropped a hefty update that plugs one of its most glaring omissions — cross-save compatibility. Now live across all supported platforms, this 2026 patch finally lets adventurers carry their progress seamlessly between Steam and iPad, among other things.

Since its initial release on PC in 2017, Divinity: Original Sin 2 has embarked on a remarkable journey across platforms. It landed on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018, then arrived on Mac and Nintendo Switch in 2019. The iPad version followed, introducing touch controls, split-screen cooperative play, and cross-play between PC, Mac, and iPad. Yet, one feature remained conspicuously absent: the ability to transfer save files between devices. That changes today, and let’s be honest — it’s about time.

Yep, you read that right.

With the new cross-save functionality, a player can start a campaign on a high-end gaming rig, save the game, and then pick up exactly where they left off on an iPad — say, during a lunch break or while lounging in the backyard. The save data syncs via Steam Cloud, working automatically behind the scenes so that no progress is ever lost. Suddenly, the sprawling world of Rivellon feels a lot more accessible. It’s the kind of feature that makes you wonder why it wasn’t there from day one.

But cross-save isn’t the only gift in this patch. Larian has squeezed in over 50 improvements and quality-of-life changes. The update introduces overhead health bars that hover above characters during battle, making threat assessment a breeze when the screen fills with fire and lightning. Portrait-based targeting now lets you select allies or enemies with a simple tap on their icon, a blessing for touchscreen warriors who’ve struggled with pinpoint accuracy. A full UI optimization pass cleans up on-screen information, making panels and tooltips cleaner and more intuitive — especially on smaller iPad screens where every pixel counts.

Additionally, the game now officially supports Portuguese-Brazilian and Latin-American Spanish languages, broadening its reach to an even wider audience of RPG enthusiasts. These language options are available on all platforms, ensuring that the deep narrative, witty dialogue, and countless side stories can be enjoyed by millions more without a language barrier.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 remains one of the highest-rated role-playing games of all time, boasting a mountain of awards and a passionate fanbase. Its deep tactical combat, reactive world, and unforgettable characters have set a benchmark for the genre. This 2026 update only sweetens the deal for newcomers and veterans alike. Honestly, if you haven’t dived into this masterpiece yet, now’s the perfect moment to jump in.

The update is available now on Steam, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and iPad. So whether you’re commanding an undead lizard on a desktop or orchestrating elemental chaos on a tablet, your adventure is now truly portable.
