Here, the studio was asked about releasing Divinity &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/larian-announces-new-game-takes-ownership-of-desert-statue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which it announced at The Game Awards last month<\/a> &#8211; on Switch 2.<\/p>\n<p>To see this content please enable targeting cookies.<\/p>\n<p>Manage cookie settings <\/p>\n<p>To this, the studio&#8217;s technical director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Bert_Larian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">u\/Bert_Larian<\/a> noted Larian had just recently released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/days-after-larians-big-the-game-awards-announcement-2017s-divinity-original-sin-2-receives-current-gen-upgrade-for-switch-2-ps5-and-xbox-series-xs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Divinity Original Sin 2 on Nintendo&#8217;s latest console<\/a>, saying: &#8220;We love the platform.&#8221; The developer then assured the community that Larian would of course also keep the Switch 2 in mind for Divinity.<\/p>\n<p>During this same AMA, the developer was also asked about Divinity being playable on Steam Deck, because who doesn&#8217;t enjoy that welcome portability. Again, Bert was very enthusiastic about the platform, and just like the studio loves Switch 2, it also loves Steam Deck.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since [Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3] was one of the most played games on the platform, we will do our best to again release on the platform,&#8221; Bert said.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Divinity screenshot\" data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox=\"\" data-uri=\"Trailer-Screenshots_05.jpg\" height=\"426\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 2.347417840375587\" width=\"1000\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Image credit: Larian<\/p>\n<p>Following Divinity&#8217;s announcement last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/larian-is-using-generative-ai-confirms-ceo-but-divinity-wont-contain-anything-ai-generated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Larian&#8217;s CEO stated the studio was using generative AI to explore ideas, expand on internal presentations, develop concept art, and write placeholder text<\/a>.
