One that has often popped up within the community is whether or not the game is going to be online only. Since this is an inquiry that has often been asked by a large number of players, we’ve decided to answer it ourselves so that we can help you prepare for it.
With the clock steadily ticking down, we’ll be getting right into it so as not to waste any more time.
Will Diablo 4 be online only?
Yes, Diablo 4 will completely be online only, which means a stable internet connection will consistently be required just to get through the campaign. Those playing on console will also need to subscribed to their respective platform’s service, like PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold, in order to play the game. Those playing on PC, however, will not need to be subscribed to any service before playing it.

Unfortunately, this also means that solo players will need to be online if they’re just playing by themselves. Though partying up isn’t a requirement by any means, the world you’re placed in will inevitably be shared with other users.
The “online only” requirement has naturally been met with mixed reactions. Some are criticizing it due to the fact that you’d still need to be subscribed to a console subscription service just to play it. Others, however, are praising it because it apparently prevents people from hacking gear that inevitably breaks the in-game experience.
