How to play multiplayer co-op with friends in Diablo 2 Resurrected?

Diablo 2 Resurrected allows you to play the entire campaign with your friends through its multiplayer mode. Unlike its original version that supported both LAN/online versions, players can now only access the co-op mode using the BattleNet Online client. To play the online co-op mode, create a private match inside the game and add your friends to that match.

Before creating a private match, you must add your pals to your friend's list. To do this, follow the steps given below.

• Open your BattleNet client, and after opening, click on the add a friend icon on the top right corner of the screen, as shown in the image below.

• Type in your friend's BattleNet ID along with the tag name. The default BattleNet ID format is XYZ#1234.
• Now, tell your friend to accept your request.
