Divinity: Original Sin II - Breaks CRPG records

PCGamesN reports that Divinity: Original Sin 2 is breaking genre records for the most concurrent players on Steam.

It seems that records are being broken all over the world of PC gaming as of late, and no industry analyst could have predicted who'd be breaking them. Today's trailblazers are Larian Studios - the independent and crowdfunded Belgian crew - who have every reason to celebrate this weekend as Divinity: Original Sin 2 saw one of the strongest launches of any classic RPG on Steam.
