Simultaneous start on all platforms

Diablo II: Resurrected is available for Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch. The monster hunt begins today at 5 p.m. German time on all platforms. It should be possible to download the game files in advance during the afternoon. The remaster is only available digitally, a physical version is not planned. The same applies to cross-play at the moment. In contrast, scores are saved across platforms.

System requirements from semi-antique to current

The system requirements of the Diablo remaster turn out to be extremely humane, at least in the lower area. With regard to the processor, the Intel Core i3-3250 and the AMD FX-4350 entry-level models from 2013 are required. For the graphics accelerator, even offshoots from 2012 are sufficient.

System requirements for Diablo II: Resurrected Minimal Recommended Processor AMD FX-4350
Intel Core i3 -3250 AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Intel Core i5-9600K RAM 8 GB RAM 16 GB RAM Graphics card AMD Radeon 7850

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Storage space 30 GB Software Microsoft Windows 10 (64 Bit) Resolution 1,280 × 720 1,920 × 1,080

However, Blizzard uses to admire the role-playing game in full graphic splendor in Full HD much more potent system ahead. Processor and graphics card must be from the penultimate generation.

Old scores can be used, but …

Already vaguely announced in spring, the FAQs about the upcoming game start reveal the clear answer: Saved games from the old Diablo II can be transferred to the remaster, but this only refers to offline saved games. In order to be able to play online, a new character must be created.

The editorial team has planned to subject the title to an extensive technical test as usual. Due to the holiday, this will not be possible until the beginning of October.
