With the new Infernal Edition, you can now play Diablo 2 on Steam. The debut of the nearly 26-year-old classic from Blizzard is a success. The player numbers and reviews are likely to encourage the developers to consider further DLCs.
How to start Diablo 2 on Steam? Since February 11, 2026, you can purchase the new Infernal Edition of Diablo 2 on Steam, which includes the content of Diablo 2: Resurrected, as well as the new DLC “Reign of the Warlock”. The entire package costs nearly 40 Euros on Steam. If you already own Resurrected via Battle.net, you can secure the new content directly in Blizzard’s launcher for 25 Euros.
Although Diablo 2 is nearly 26 years old and the price of the DLC, which primarily brings the new class of the Warlock, is heavily criticized, the Steam debut is successful.
