Is Diablo 4 on PlayStation and Xbox?
Blizzard has announced that Diablo 4 is available on PC users via the official Battle.net app, as well as the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and even the previous generation of consoles.
Of course, this means that Diablo 4 is not going to be an exclusive title at release. However, it’s worth noting that Blizzard has not revealed a Switch version of the game at this point in time, but that could arrive at a later date.
