Blizzard may drop support for Diablo IV on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but for now the game will continue to be updated on older consoles

On the 14th of May, the Diablo IV developers have added the game to Game Pass and published a full list of Season 4's new features will start.

The developers promise a huge number of changes and innovations, and the first players who entered the test servers confirm this. Many users even compare this update to the Reaper of Souls addon for Diablo 3, which fixed most of the game's flaws from 2012 and regained the trust of disappointed gamers.

Diablo 4 producer Rod Fergusson and art director John Mueller spoke to IGN journalists and discussed further support for the game.

Here's What We Know

The lead developers confirmed that Diablo 4 is still in the early stages of development and that there will be a huge amount of content in the future, so, figuratively speaking, the game could really turn into "Diablo 5" in terms of innovation.

However, everything has a price. With each update Diablo 4 becomes more and more demanding, so John Mueller believes that there may come a moment when Blizzard will have to abandon support for the game on the last generation consoles - PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. According to him, developers are trying to adapt their ideas for the eighth generation consoles, so that all gamers have the same content, but technical limitations may not allow them to implement them on outdated devices.

But for now, that moment has not arrived and Diablo 4 will continue to receive updates on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
