Is game sharing Diablo 4 possible?

Sharing games between friends is like sharing a Netflix account - it works, but no one knows for how long. That's the case with Diablo 4, where many friends asked me if game-sharing Diablo 4 is possible on PC, Xbox, and PS5. While sharing the game during the beta period was doable, is that the case with Diablo 4?

Can you game share Diablo IV?

Yes, you can game share Diablo 4 with your family and friends! Here's how you can do it on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

How to game share Diablo IV on PC

It's possible to game share Diablo 4 on PC, but there is a catch. To give someone else an opportunity to play the game, you must install your Battle.net account on that friend's PC. After that, you just need to download Diablo 4 and start the game. Now let's get back to that catch. You can only play the game while the original owner is offline, as you can't have the game active on two PCs simultaneously.

This means you can share the game with a friend but can't play together. Also, only share your credentials with persons you trust, as there is a security risk with sharing your personal information with others.
