This statement from Blizzard is a big disappointment to Diablo 3 fans. This seems like an unnecessary limit, as there is seemingly no reason not to make these game cross-platform. The same situation has happened, and is still happening, with players of many other popular games such as Call of Duty or Madden. However, they did not have any plan to make cross-play for Diablo 3 in the foreseeable future.ĭiablo 3 fans are not the only ones denied the chance to play with their friends on different platforms. They admitted that they liked the idea of bringing players across all platforms together. Unfortunately, people from Blizzard have spoken up against this. Some fans theorized that Blizzard was working with Sony and Microsoft to make the Switch version of Diablo 3 playable with other platforms. This prompted rumors that the company is working on the long-awaited cross-platform feature for Diablo 3. On October 12, at a gameplay demo for the Nintendo Switch version of the game, a representative from Blizzard reportedly said “It’s a question of when, not if” when asked why Diablo 3 still didn’t have cross-platform. This concept is becoming more and more common, appearing in popular games such as Minecraft and Fortnite.ĭiablo 3 Eternal Collection includes the Reaper of Souls and the Rise of the Necromancer expansion If such a thing actually made an appearance, it would certainly enhance the game’s multiplayer experience by a large margin.Ĭross platform is a multiplayer feature that allows people who play the same game on different platforms to play together. With that many platforms, many fans have long wished that Blizzard would make the game playable cross-platform.

Diablo 3 is currently available on 6 different platforms: PC, Mac, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4.
