I had played Diablo II when I was young. I’m not a big Diablo fan, but I’m attracted by this new release, and I’m interested to play with my friends.

I can’t decide that I should buy a PS5 version or PC version. Here are some pros and cons I’m thinking about.

  • I don’t have a powerful gaming PC yet. Before I made my decision of a new PC build, I may need to play with low quality graph (EDIT: I already have a PS5).
  • I could buy a pre-owned PS5 Disc, which is cheaper. If I don’t like it, I could trade-in the disc.
  • I don’t have a PS membership right now. I know I missed one promotion in early June. Is the membership necessary for playing Diablo IV?
  • If I need to organize my backpack, will keyboard&mouse be more convenient than controller?
  • I have a Steam Deck and I want to use it for some causal play. Proton or PS Remote Play, which works better?

Thank you for all your suggestions.

EDIT: Considering the suggestion by @[email protected], I’ve purchased the PS5 version so we could enjoy the game together in the living room. We also confirmed that, without PS+, it’s okay to play solo.

    PS membership was a requirement that hit me out of the blue since I’ve played D3 on PS for years with no issue. There is isn’t really much your need to organize. There is an auto sort so the only management you might need to do is the stash which is a slight pain on a controller, but not that bad.
