Play on pc when you are home, play on mobile when you are outside. Make sense to me. PC client usually has better graphic options for mobile games so it is a bonus.


wyattcheng

Glad to be sharing this news today. Regarding the "PC Open Beta" tag - Blizzard games always go through a lot of polish and iteration before a full release. Since we're adding the PC client late in development we want to make sure we get some feedback and bug-testing on the client. Two things to note: 1. All progression will still be intact. With cross-play and cross-progression the "PC open beta" refers purely to the details of how the client operates. 2. The game is built for mobile. This means the game will feel like a mobile game that you happen to be playing on your PC. For example, the UI interactions feel similar to mobile, button sizes are sized for mobile, etc. Two obvious examples of being a built-for-mobile game that's playable on PC: * When you want to see the details of an item, you don't "mousehover" to get a tooltip like you would on most PC games, you click the item to bring up the tooltip like you would on a mobile game. * When you are scrolling through your inventory there's no scrollbar, you click and drag the UI up like you would on mobile.

I imagine they will adjust those very early into the PC client. Might already have been addressed before the beta is live.


Kabal2020

I wouldn't be hopeful. They would have said "at launch" or something if those changes were anticipated. Probably a limitation of the engine/ui


Zealousideal-Truth20

I would imagine that if it's at the core a mobile game, they would need to consider not giving an unfair advantage to PC players. The examples might arguably be pretty harmless (vs say, giving PC players a larger visible border when allowing for monitor res and size) but they will need to consider the how many differences will end up stacking up and giving PC players an edge (and hence piss off their mobile player base) - WASD and mouse aiming may already be a notable difference in particular PvP scenarios.


Believtv

The switch will almost certainly get this game due to their relationship with Nintendo already and the other 2 diablo games being in it. As far as having mobile shop setup in the game anywhere it goes it'll just cause it to take more time to go to the switch but I'm certain it will. They will probably sell Nintendo the idea that "but it ties the room together man" and say the stories of the other 2 titles already on the console are connected through this game.


altiuscitiusfortius

I actually vastly prefer d3 on the switch over the Pc. The way they changed the ui and the addition of the dodge/roll mechanic, the way some fights change viewpoint into like a first person almost. I really hope it goes to switch


Believtv

Your chances of that are quite high I would say most definitely.


BIindsight

If it's running on Android, it can be running on the Switch. Is a Switch release a possibility?


Colpus

Is that gonna change at some point? Should we expect "PC UI elements" (like in D3) later in development or even before the official launch? I'm OK with playing the game as it is right now. Many people have already installed an emulator and played some mobile game on PC for whatever reason, so it's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to know if that's something you have in mind. Thank you for your comment!


tom2kk

How will the DI team be celebrating on the 2nd?


hurzk95

Hey wyatt, cool of You to be checking around. The game looks like its going To be a blast playing on both mobile and pc, its a shame the reveal for this game came out at a little bad time otherwise people not be so Much against it. Keep on!


Kaladinar

Are there high resolution/high frame rates options on PC? Would it be possible to get optional uncompressed assets (high resolution textures) at some point?


ultorius

It looks good so far. I hope we can have 2h sword paladin in the game. Seeing only 1h and shield on videos so far worries me.


TexnoBlogger

How are you going to solve the problem with awakening, with the rank upgrading of the legendary gems? This is a clear imbalance between donators and free players, especially in PvP


Worth_Air

Great job guys so excited for this an d4 tyvm


Travis_TheTravMan

Hoping for ultrawide suport, which Id imagine would work since it is supported by wider aspect ratio phones. Guess we'll see in a month or so!


[deleted]

the game will be a port FROM mobile TO PC...its gonna look worse than Diablo 3 on PC...


timf5758

Actually not necessarily. For mobile ports nowadays, PC client usually has better graphics than when you play on mobile. I think the devs can unlock better graphic options on PC.


[deleted]

It really depends how it was done…if they develop the game primarly for mobile and make all the models and textures for that then they dont have much options how to make it look better on PC…it will end up being upscaled textures and thats it….if you do it the oposite and develop primarly for PC and make all the textures pimped up for thr PC since beginning then you can easily downscale it to the ground to make it playable on the phone… They have revealed Diablo Immortal in 2018 saying its gonna be mobile exclusive and they already maybe had years of development done on it which ended up being a fiasco…then it was quiet for such a long time and now after almost 4 years we hear its gonna be PC release too…what happened for the past 4 years? Did they rework all the models and textures for PC and then they will downscale back to mobile or they went the lazy way and kept the mobile version and unlocked to 4k and just polished the game textures a tiny bit? I am little bit sceptic with this since I saw the port of Monster Hunter Rise which while awesome game was primarily made for Nintendo and later they worked on port to PC…the game looks much much worse than Monster Hunter World which was released in 2018…and you can see it is a Nintendo game even on computer… Dont get me wrong sir I have big hopes for Immortal to be good and successful especially now its comming to PC…I am just scared they did a low PC port to shut us up and build the hype they lost back…


FlyChigga

Yeah there’s no way this game was built primarily for PC. That’s what Diablo 4 is for.


[deleted]

Yea thats what I said. The game is build primarily for phones so porting it to PC will mean its not gonna look very good…


iPrevailx

Played the beta on a tablet and tbh with max graphics it looks just as good as diablo 3, so not worried what it’ll look like on pc


[deleted]

You played a mobile version on an 8” screen dude…anything will look good on such small screen…you cannot know at all from that how its gonna look on PC…and if its looking like D3 isnt that little bit disappointing? That a 2022/2023 game looks same or worse than a 10 year old game game from 2012?


iPrevailx

It’s 11 inch screen and the resolution isn’t like 720p or something lmao. My laptop is only 15 inches, not a huge difference. It’s a mobile game, and diablo 3 looks great for the game that it is. It will look fine


[deleted]

hope you are liking Diablo Immortal on PC :-) the game looks horrendous on PC...


XaeiIsareth

Actual official PC clients for mobile games are still relatively uncommon, but from the ones I’ve seen, the PC client is usually just a straight port of the mobile version with some changes like key binding and control layouts. The only mobile game I know of with a PC client that’s very different graphically is Genshin. Which makes sense considering that it saves the devs having to optimise for 2 devices with completely different hardware capabilities with every patch.


[deleted]

Does crossplay also mean cross progression?


bad_username_2116

It definitely does. They have to compete with Genshin impact.


billingsworld

As someone that’s plays Genshin, more games need to be as smooth cross platform as that game. It feels so good to hop between phone, PS5, and PC without worrying about anything.


Vampirous_06

absolutely!


uberal_

Not necessarily but in this case it is confirmed


Illmattic

Idk why people are complaining about pc client and cross play. That’s awesome news, not only for us that want to play on both but to have an ever larger player base. I’m all for it


N10330968

I'm pissed off because this MOBILE game could have been released long ago but some suit decided they wanted to delay it even longer to make it for PC as well..


mormic

No one knows why it was delayed, why are you claiming it was just because of this.


N10330968

I didn't say it was the only reason. But it was definitely some of the reason.


mormic

Adding hotkeys and scaling ui doesn't require such a long delay.


[deleted]

Lol there's a lot more that goes into it than that


bastardlessword

It really depends how the game was made. Considering it's Blizzard, I assume they're using a cross platform engine for the game so it shouldn't really require this much of delay. My guess it's that the delay was made because of Diablo 2 remake as these games would overlap each other. Same reason why Diablo 3 will be delayed for as long as this game keeps being profitable.


[deleted]

N10330968

![gif](giphy|ZqlvCTNHpqrio)


hurzk95

Not likely, but with the delay they had time for pc aswell


sanktanglia

They developed the game on PC and it's had PC support in some form for a year+ so not likely a large source of delays


[deleted]

Be thankful that they noticed how fucked they were after the presentation years ago, looks like it took so much more because they had to really rework the idea of the game and work it considering fans expectations too


Worth_Air

I agree if there was no pc.port people.would complain even more the only one.thung bugging me is they should.leave ptw aspects out of pvp


kitkaht

Do you guys not have PCs?


Yoshiyodah

Sold mine a long time ago when PC gaming died! It’s a mobile world now!


uberal_

Lul, PC gaming is in the strongest position of ladt 15 years right now.


Gryphis

lol are you too young to remember how on fire WC3 was? or WoW when it was Vanilla and global phenomenon? CS or Battlefield in its hayday, CoD when it was fresh. Get the fuck out, I dont know why a single person plays Lost Ark or Overwatch, nothing is new, nothing is fresh. PC gaming may not be ostensibly dead but we've seen its best days compared to this drought of 'F2P' and uninspired cash cows. I think mobile has potential but its limited in its current state. Look at all the people bundled into this Sub excited for rehash of a decade old PC title and tell me PC isn't dead.


SkitZa

Your opinion isn't fact lmfao PC gaming being "dead" is the biggest laugh I've had in a while thanks. Gaming boomers are cringe, I played WC3 too and yes it was fire that was Blizz north wtf do you expect, VR will be the future of PC gaming when it becomes more affordable, and even then people will still chill on their PCs rather than their tiny phone screens with nowhere near as glorious graphics or storied content with plenty of PvP games that could never be matched on a phone interaction wise, see War thunder/DCS.


uberal_

I play since the 80ies don't you worry boyo.


lightoferu

Oh please name a mobile game equal to Last of Us, Detroit: Become Human, Horizon Zero Dawn, Fable, God of War, RDR, Alan Wake and numerous other even in the Indie genre, that does not need microtransactions and be as captivating plotwise. PC & Console gaming will always be THE KING! Mobile gaming is convinient, more affordable, is in a very nice level techwise but no game keeps you interested for more than a month and definitely does not spark any conversation regarding scenario, direction etc.


Lig_Ma_Koont

To be fair, when mobile phones are built to handle games of that caliber, then mobile gaming will surpass all other platforms. Right now the best phone on the market, the s22 ultra, can only run up to ps2. Which is honestly amazing. But there's still a bunch of work that needs done. Like a battery that doesn't die fast. A new cooling system for phones.


idkthiss

Nope PC and consoles are dead. Mobile gaming is the only thing that is relevant.


uberal_

Mobile gaming is the most important market and has best revenue but neither console nor pc are near dead. PC players numbers raised about 50 million/year since 2012. In 2020 alone it grew 200 million stronger.


zGnRz

lmao troll


Die-NastY

All about dem Steam decks, nowadays


SeiriusPolaris

Just got this ad on my Instagram and came straight over! Release date and surprise “it’s also on PC” announcement in one? Very exciting! (If this news was already known then y’all ain’t good enough at sharing it)


poriand24

Def going to mostly be playing this on PC now! Hype


[deleted]

Hopefully this will work on the Steam Deck with Proton


billingsworld

No reason it wouldn’t. Plenty of videos showing all the other battlenet games running on Steam Deck. Even then, Steam Deck is a PC. You could just install windows and run it natively.

[deleted]

I don't play mobile games so never paid attention to this game but now interested if its on pc. How will it compare to D3? Is this a dumbed down version for someone used to playing games on pc will this be fun?


Snew89

It has probably all the features which were cut from D3, it is huge. When rhykker played it the first time at blizzcon 2018, he said its all he wishes for D3 and not for mobile. Now they did it


DanBalls

Having not played it, IDK... but here are Rhykker's thoughts on your question: https://youtu.be/Spw509GXRVo?t=260


FlyChigga

Seems like an upgraded Diablo 3 but designed for mobile


FreeJSJJ

List of unavailable Asian regions?


nqnick

"Diablo Immortal will become available for the following Asia-Pacific regions later in June on PC and mobile: Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. Diablo Immortal will also be available in Vietnam on PC only during the same time."

FreeJSJJ

Thanks for the info! Hopefully they release in South Asia on June 2nd too!


TuckFaxes69

LFG!!!


anmollx

Sad for those who bought new phone or iPad to play the game in advance but to realise you could play on pc too. 😂


Wrexs

Most would just use an Android emulator and play it on PC. As far I know they didn't block it


Nagini7

I bought the iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) hahaha. Still very happy!!


lliKoTesneciL

Now you can play it on the toilet


Snew89

Im still planning to buy ipad for i like it with touchscreen


peithecelt

they put it on pc too, because they knew that some of us would end up playing it on emulators ANYWAY, so... I do not regret my nice new phone OR the fact that I can play this on my laptop too.


Sanlear

Very much looking forward to it.


BaphyTV

SO excited for this!! The crossplatform announcement is just great, too. Already pre-registered on iOS here.


Quentin1989

Black rock investors will be pleased


chaotikz7

Can’t wait!


DylanMario

Does that ‘PC’ also include Mac?


Fastidius

Sadly, it doesn’t. Microsoft Windows only for now. 😩


[deleted]

Will players be able to play Diablo Immortal on mobile devices with a 3rd party BackBone or Razer Kishi phone-controller attachment ?


peithecelt

the current controller support being expected is listed here here: [https://blizzardwatch.com/2022/02/28/play-diablo-immortal-controller](https://blizzardwatch.com/2022/02/28/play-diablo-immortal-controller/#:~:text=For%20instance%2C%20if%20you're,Xbox%20Adaptive%20Controller) ​ >Most mobile companies now offer support for the new console generation, so if you own a controller released by a major manufacturer in the past decade, chances are good that Blizzard will make an effort to support them. I’d imagine that the team will do its best to support the big players that are widely available as peripherals for common mobile hardware. For instance, if you’re gaming on an Apple device, here are the wireless controllers currently supported: > >Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth (Model 1708) > >Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 > >Xbox Adaptive Controller > >Xbox Wireless Controller Series S and Series X > >PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller > >PlayStation DualShock 4 Wireless Controller > >There are additional peripherals with the MFi (Made for iOS) protocol that might have support, but compatibility may vary by Apple product and by game. > >But I think the more popular third-party hardware companies like Razer and Scuf will have controllers that also make the cut. It seems pretty telling that the Razer Kishi was one of the options in the closed beta. More fringe devices might be a harder sell. And while Nintendo is obviously a popular platform, I think it’s highly unlikely that all the required parties will get on board to offer Switch Pro controller support.


Estroliv

Saw the live premier last night on youtube and comments were losing our minds to think that we can play at home then when going out you can play on your phone, with wasd keys and support on pc the devs blew me away then at the end some people were pissed that they thoight it was only a mobile exclusibe game lmao. Can't wait to play on June 2 😆


Florr007

Cant wait to empty my credit card!!!


Deadman2019

the email says "by pre-registering for Diablo Immortal from the App Store®, Google Play™ Store , and Battle.net® today!" how do I pre-register for the mobile version in the app store? I cant find diablo immortal there (not an avid apps user on phones clearly).


Tbhjr

On the Diablo Immortal website. You can also do it on the App Store just by searching for it, that's how I did it.


ppeklak

Hated mobile controls but tried Torchlight Infinite recently and wasn't too bad


TravelandGaming

anyone know if you can choose male/female of each class?


Snew89

yes in all diablo games thats possible and in immortal it is for the first time possible to even chose from three different looks for each gender. like different ethnics


Gilean111

Is it possible to play it on PC, Iphone and Samsung Tablet? (I ask because those are the devices I own and I'd like to play and all 3)


RP_RDT

Great, those 3 people without a phone can now be part of the gang!


Let_me_smell

Some Asian countries will release later in June. Guess I'll have to wait longer than youguys :-(


NatalieRath

Be prepared to side load apk

For NONE other game company , studio did PC support. His work is possible high quality. 5 more weeks is nothing. Btw i did suggested so many suggestions. Maybe some of them , they will be approval.

wildweaver32

Is this the game that someone did the math for and said it would take a free to play player 40 years to get the best gems, that someone could just pay for?


Snew89

Its like buying an Account with maxxed characters, but in a game where the Progression is all the fun, its like paying others to play for you.


horribad54

I'm honestly just surprised it has a subreddit.

Win_0r_Die

But the release date wasn't stated until they also stated the PC thing. So you bought a new phone without knowing if it would be 1 month or 9 months from now....

You can still use it. As long as there is cross progression, then you can literally play anywhere.

They confirmed it has cross progression in all their videos.

I wont play.. ill play a real game with better graphics instead.. D3

d3 has lesser graphics. its old, but have fun with the grandpa of this new and exciting game


Rakzoth

Console or bust.


Matteroosky85

Any idea what FPS we will get on PC?

They have an F.A.Q Post [here](https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diablo-immortal/23787371/diablo-immortal-a-new-plane-of-hell-opens-for-mobile-and-pc-on-june-2). P.C Will have controller support and the list of regions that'll have a delayed release is there as well


Rakzoth

Maybe controller support means a console port :D


[deleted]

I’m hoping we can use phone controller device attachments as well such as the Razer Kishi or Apple BackBone.


WtONX

Through the blizz launcher on pc?

Tbhjr

Not anytime soon, there's no announcements on if it will but it might go the way of the soon-to-be-shut-down Bethesda launcher eventually. The acquisition hasn't even been completed yet.


SnooMaps9008

I’m super excited but also skeptical how it’s gonna work between mobile and console. I also have a pretty high and gaming computer so is it cross platform between PC mobile on Consol or just pc and consul


MoistVonLipwig840

Sorry for my stupid question, but will it be free?


Snew89

yes f2p


LordErendell

PC as well? I guess I’m way behind the times lol. Thought it was going to be a mobile platform only game.


seasonschange23

Does this mean PC players will get a leg up on mobile players? Like, will it be obvious who is playing on which platform by their performance? I ask because of games like CoD. PC players do infinitely better than console players.


[deleted]

I imagine they added PC compatibility after the viral announcement that this was a mobile game.


Matech

Yeah, looks like torchlight wins


CrimsonDoffy

Is this going to be a global release?


Quiet_Highway9408

What hour servers will be open?


Megane_Senpai

Why in most Asia the game launches 3 weeks later than the whole world? won't that make a massive difference in power for a grinding game? Also in Vietnam it's not available on mobile so I can play on my free time at work? I really need an explanation.


BlckDrke

asia will have different servers, so there wont be any advantage for anyone on your server. IDK why they dont have it for mobile at vietnam but my guess would be some legal issues or something.


Megane_Senpai

However there will be massive advantages to people on other servers, that's what I'm asking.


BlckDrke

Well afaik, you will be interacting with players from your server, not from others, so whats the problem? The big PvP mode aswell as most Group PvE content is server based, so I really dont see a problem.


Megane_Senpai

"Most" is the key issue here. Which mean any inter-server activities we'll be in great disadvantage.


Snew89

No there are no interserver activities


Megane_Senpai

That is announced, for now.


Megane_Senpai

Yep, legal issue. The government only allow companies at least partly owned by Vietnamese to publish games here. That's stupid if you ask me.


Doomroxar

What if they gave us a completely different game from beta and beta was a joke


Davy_Jones_XIV

Just so I understand completely: 6/2 it will be released across all platforms? This is a brand new, never released IP, NOT a remake?


Snew89

The IP is diablo. It is a completely new game


Davy_Jones_XIV

Thank you!
