Diablo 4 requires a permanent internet connection on PS4 and PS5. But can you play Blizzard’s action RPG without PS Plus?
The action RPG Diablo 4 requires a permanent online connection. On PlayStation and Xbox, this often means you need a paid subscription. Unlike on PC, you have to pay for a subscription on consoles for multiplayer.
But what about Diablo 4? Can I enjoy the game without a subscription or do I need a valid subscription immediately upon first login?
You need a subscription for Diablo 4 on PS5 and Xbox
Do I need PS Plus or Xbox Live? No, you do not need a subscription if you want to play Diablo 4 in Germany on Xbox or PS5. It is still true that the statement made by community lead Adam Fletcher from Blizzard on Twitter about the online requirement applies:
So if you have pre-ordered Diablo 4, you do not necessarily need a subscription. You can play and experience purely single-player content without a subscription. However, you may still be charged additionally through the battle pass.
Players can play Diablo 4 together on Xbox, PS5, and PC
What does the multiplayer offer? Diablo 4 relies on a strong online integration alongside the single-player campaign. This means: In many elements of the game, such as co-op, PvP, or the so-called “shared world”, you are on the move with other people. You cannot turn off these features. Despite the extensive online content, you should still be able to play without a subscription. Players who are already playing Diablo 4 on PS5 and Xbox confirm this.
You can at least play Diablo 4 together across all platforms. You can find all important information about crossplay in the following article on MeinMMO:
