Divinity Original Sin 2 sells over a million copies

On Twitter and Steam news for their game Larian Studios announces that Divinity Original Sin 2 has sold over a million copies. Great for them has been a good time for indies so far Hellblade and Cuphead are doing good and now Divinity Original Sin 2. Seems like DOS2 will quickly surpass the DOS in sales.

Well deserved. Besides Nintendo's heavy hitters, it's easily the best game of the year.

Good jog for an apparently really good game. About the sales tho, one simply doesn't sell a million copies eh? It happens all the time on consoles with a much lower user base, just saying.

That is very well earned! It's a really good game. :)

@lexxluger: How many of them are small indie games like this and not the usual AAA budget mass marketed games that sell a million consoles?

Pretty much, it is easily one of the big 3 games to be released this year. With PUBG still being early access and all.

I haven't play Divinity Original Sin 2 but still, kudos for selling $1 million copy sold.

Actually, if you look at it in the correct context, it does not happen all the time. It's the just all the games that do sell over a million copies, most people are aware of them, hence why they sell so many copies in the first place.

Last time I played, it was during it was early access. I haven't played it since.

It deserves to sell much more

Huh, so now this massively hyped PC exclusive is a...small indie? lol man what's the PC user base again 150M..200M active users?

Miss me with the excuse man, outside of PUBG this was the biggest game of the year for PC. Dont come here with any small indie nonsense when a play tested beta release of PUBG can sell 7M and an unreleased tech demo stuck in infinite beta update has pulled in god knows how much money from trusting PC smucks who donated to the wish and a dream kickstarter lol.

I don't know why PC fans brag about the huge player base PC has and then brag about sales numbers for their exclusive games that console exclusives regularly see and the have objections when someone points out the contradiction.

A million sales is GREAT, that being said, it's nothing overly special for a highly hyped exclusive on any system, PC doesn't get a free pass on that either.

@lexxluger: what a load of BS!

First of all a million copies of a game likes this is amazing, it’s not some overhyped AAA productions that spend half it’s budget on advertising and have nothing going for except pretty graphic that makes good commercials! Or in another word, every hypes ps game...

Secondly a heavy strategic rpg with not top of the line graphic, will always be a niche product and in that context it’s a massive and well deserved feat for an amazing game!

Deserves 10X more.

lol your argument makes 0 sense and equals more excuses.

the bold^

Is exactly the type of game the people who profess to be PC fans get into PC for. Your argument is idiotic because the demographic who choose and prefer PC KNOWS that these ARE their high profile AAA games for the system.

I'm not talking about people who don't own PC, im talking about PC gamers here. LMAO if this isn't the biggest it's at least 2nd biggest PC game to come out this year.

The fact that it maybe an indie title or whatever isn't the fault of anyone else here, for that you should call the master race chamber of commerce and complain about the level of your biggest games compared to consoles and maybe they will give you a tissue.

I always hear PC fanboys telling console fans they want aconsolation prize for being #2 compared to PC...well here's yours:

Congrats on a million sales for the biggest or 2nd biggest PC exclusive released this year! Still it's nothing special for one of the biggest and most hyped games for any system during a given year, especially if that system has a user base of well over 100million active members.

Neat, need to buy it

Probably the best tactical game I've played since FF tactics. Grats to Larian studios, I hope these guys continue to grow.

Oh and lol @ the console plebs shitting on it because it's "pee sea excloosive".

Hint: It will be released on console as well.

What??!! A game doing well critically and financially without season passes, digital deluxe editions, and loot box microtransactions in this day and age? What manner of sorcery is this??!!

Anyway, they haven't got a sale from me... ...yet. This is on my 100% to buy eventually list - I'm just waiting for some spare cash to free up.

I'm sure it will and for your info no where in any of my posts was I shitting on this game dufus. Learn to read and comprehend before spouting nonsense.

It's a sales thread and I was commenting on the SALES.

@lexxluger: Yes, I'm just a "DUFUS" who needs to learn to read and comprehend.

The first DOS game is pretty awesome - about 2/3 of the way through myself in the original release. My younger brother wants to play co-op through the enhanced edition of the game so I may just cut my loss on my current play through and start over with him on the enhanced version.

We both plan on picking up a copy of DOS2 sometime in the near future. This is one of those games I won't mind if I have to spend $30-40 to get considering I usually buy games on the cheap when sales come around.

Bought the first Divinty when it hit ps4 and if they release the second on consoles I buy it day one

reread your first post to me!

respect gets respect and well my response to your post was the same tone you came at me with. I mean...I'm just a console "PLEB" so I guess it's all good no?

Actually I never mentioned you. You took it on yourself to decide that I was referring to you specifically when I said console pleb. Kinda says something doesn't it? :)

@lexxluger: Okay, where should we start...

(1) This is an indie title, in the sense that it was crowd-funded and self-published. The entire budget of this game would have been a fraction of what any major publisher would spend on marketing alone.

(2) For a very niche RPG franchise, 1 million sales is great. This game isn't targeted to the lowest common denominator masses, unlike frontline RPGs from Bethesda and Bioware. It also isn't a huge name franchise like Persona (Persona 5, for reference, only sold 1.8 million copies across two platforms).

(3) This game will have legs. Normally, when a major PlayStation or Xbox game announces second-month sales...that's it, the game then falls off the radar until it hits a bargain bin. They have their flash-in-the-pan sales bubble, and then they're forgotten about.

Divinity Original Sin 2 (like any brilliant PC RPG, or for example, a Nintendo game) will continue selling for years. It'll probably be in Steam's top sellers for a few more months at least, and might hit 2 million copies once it gets a decent sale.

(4) Calling this "the biggest PC release outside of PUBG" is a bit silly, since the PC gets great games every week. The PC has the most diverse library across the widest range of genres, without any 3/6/12 month droughts that you'd find on the consoles, so you don't see the same effect of "a new Playstation game comes out, everyone buys it to have something to play".

The 120+ milliom Steam users like a lot of different genres. They're not all going to buy this one niche tactical RPG, even if it did get a whole bunch of 10/10 scores.

No accounting for taste in those 1 million people.

@SerOlmy: lol you really hate this game don’t you? Did Sven kick your dog or something? :P

Cool. Hopefully it releasing on consoles isn’t too far off, I’ll definitely pick this up for the Xbox One when it comes out.

@appariti0n:

Hate is a strong word. I don't necessarily hate the game itself. I do however find it infuriating how an RPG with a garbo, poorly written story, crappy companions, and bad pacing gets praised as the second coming of Jebus. It's story and companion characters are on par with ME:Andromeda in terms of quality and for a modern RPG that just isn't good enough.

@SerOlmy: I thought you only played the first one though.

@appariti0n:

You are aware that YouTube videos, story summaries, walkthroughs, and other analytical tools exist on this amazing thing we call "the internet" right? Nothing I have seen/read shows any improvement from the original (which was terrible) in terms of overall story, companions, writing, or world-building.

Another overrated PC game.

I just reinstall the game, it appears to be more stable in the Early Access.

@SerOlmy: So you haven't actually played it?

Is that all? One of the best games I've played in a long while. And yeah, the story isn't great and I still loved it. This, coming from someone who wants a good story above all else in games typically.

Cause all he cares about is 'STORY', not gameplay.

..should go read a book/watch a movie...

Is this without counting the kickstarter support?
