Diablo IV director shares his thoughts on the potential launch of the game on Switch 2: it can happen, but not in the near future
Blizzard has revealed that while it would love to bring Diablo IV to the Nintendo Switch 2, the company is still trying to figure out how to port elements of the game to the hybrid console. In an interview with Gamertag Radio, the game's general manager, Rod Fergusson, shared plans for Daiblo IV in 2025, including its potential appearance on Switch 2.
Here's What We Know
Ferguson emphasised that Blizzard definitely sees a good opportunity to bring the game to Switch 2, especially since it has already done so with Diablo III and Diablo II Resurrected, which will also be available on the new console. He said that given the Switch 2's new hardware, the game's performance will definitely not be in question, but the studio has some questions about porting the live-service elements of the online game:
"It’s nice the Switch 2 has the performance that can run a game like Diablo 4, so yeah, it’s something to look at for sure. I think the challenge is less around the hardware and just about how we… you know, live services on Switch have been a little bit challenging in the past. So I’m hopeful that as they launch this June and as we look to the future, that becomes easier and easier, so it makes more sense to put a live service on that platform.".
Where To Play
Diablo IV is currently available to play on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and PC.
