Diablo 4 finally has a Steam release date

As the release of Diablo 4's Season 2, Season of Blood, draws nearer, there has been confirmation that the game will be making its debut on Steam. Diablo 4 is Blizzard Entertainment's second title to arrive on the Steam platform, the first being Overwatch 2 earlier this year.

When will Diablo 4 be released on PC?

Announced via a developer live stream, Blizzard confirmed that Diablo 4 will be released on Steam on October 14, 2023. Many fans are praising the addition of Steam to the list of the game's available platforms, but it does come with a serious caveat for players already playing through Battle.net.

According to the live stream, players of Diablo 4 who wish to play the game on Steam will be required to purchase the game a second time to do so. It has not been made clear as to why there is such a limitation since Diablo 4 is an account-based title.

The release of Diablo 4 on Steam conveniently coincides with the release of the title's Season 2 update, making it a solid place for interested players to jump in. Additionally, the Steam version of Diablo 4 will fully support cross-platform and cross-progress with all the currently available versions of the title. The Steam release will also come with seamless achievements and friend list integration.

Diablo 4, as a title, started off with a strong showing at its initial release but quickly fell off its stage due to a myriad of technical problems and questionable gameplay design choices. Perhaps with the Steam and Season 2 release update, the game can get back on a proper footing with its player base.
