Diablo 4 is available for multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. However, PS users wonder if there is a PS5 upgrade for Diablo 4. In this guide, we will explain everything you need to know about it.
Do I get Diablo 4 on PS5 if I own it on PS4?
If you purchase Diablo 4 on PS4, you can also play it on PS5. In other words, you will be able to get the upgraded version for no extra cost. However, it is important to remember that you will be able to access it on PS5 if you’re using the same PSN account as the PS4. Otherwise, you will need to purchase it separately.
If you own the digital version of the game, you’ll get the PS5 version without any hurdles. However, those getting the disc version need to get the Cross-Gen bundle. This bundle includes the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game.
What is the difference between PS4 and PS5 versions of Diablo 4?
While is no difference between the two in terms of content, there are major visual and quality differences. To begin with, the quality of lighting, textures, and ambient occlusion is much better in the PS5 version of the game. Furthermore, the game runs at a native 1080p on the PS4 and 1180p on the PS4 Pro, while the PS5 runs it at a native 4K resolution.
In terms of FPS, the PS4 version is capped at 30 FPS, while the PS5 version targets a frame rate of 60 FPS. The PS5 version of the game also takes around 6 seconds to load, which is much less than the PS4 version, which takes around 50 seconds.
Diablo 4 will release on June 6, but if you gained early access to it by pre-ordering the Digital or Ultimate edition, you can start playing it from June 2. You can also preload the game starting May 30.
