Will the Diablo IV Beta Run on Your PC?

Laptop, Mac or Steam Deck, here’s which computer platforms you can play Diablo IV on.

There are a couple of ways to play Diablo IV, the latest installment of Blizzard’s action RPG series. First, you could wait until June 6, 2023, when the game is due to launch on PC, Xbox and PlayStation platforms. Or you could get early access through a public beta program running March 24-26, following an earlier invite-only beta that ran March 17 to 19.

Running the console versions should be straightforward, but if you’re a PC gamer and want to know if Diablo IV will run on your machine, you’ll need to check a long list of required and recommended hardware specs.

For a Windows-based gaming laptop or desktop, the official specs are as follows:

Minimum requirements

(720p resolution, low graphics settings, 30 frames per second.)

OS: 64-bit Windows 10
Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX-8100
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 280
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: SSD with 45 GB available space
Internet: Broadband Connection

Recommended requirements

(1080p resolution, medium graphics settings, 60 frames per second.)

OS: 64-bit Windows 10
Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K or AMD R3-1300X
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 470
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: SSD with 45 GB available space
Internet: Broadband Connection

Pretty much any laptop with a discrete GPU from the past 10 years should be able to play the game, even if not at high resolutions and graphics settings. Because of the wide base of Diablo fans, the system requirements are on the lighter side, compared to some more intensive games, including Hogwarts Legacy.

As always with PC gaming, the spec recommendations may change over time, and you may have to experiment to get the best results. Note also that the final game may behave differently than the beta, which is an unfinished product.

Will Diablo IV run on a Mac?

Like most popular PC games, there is no Mac-native version of Diablo IV planned as of right now. The latest Apple Silicon chips also make it hard to dual-boot Windows in order to try Windows-only games.

But there are some potential options. If Diablo IV comes to a cloud gaming service such as Nvidia’s GeForce Now, Amazon Luna or Xbox Cloud Gaming, that would be one way to play on a MacBook, iMac or Mac Mini.

No cloud support has been announced yet, but Microsoft, which is in the process of buying ActivisionBlizzard, recently announced a deal to bring more games to GeForce Now in general.

Will Diablo IV run on a Steam Deck?

Short answer: yes. Long answer: Yes, but it’s a little complicated and takes a good amount of effort to get set up.

The basic steps are as follows:

Go to the Steam Deck desktop mode
Download Blizzard’s Battle.net installer
Add and run the installer as a «non-Steam» game from within the desktop version of Steam
Add the now-installed Battle.net app as a «non-Steam» game
Run the Battle.net app from within Steam, log in to Battle.net as usual
From there, you can run Battle.net to install Diablo IV, in either a Steam Deck desktop or SteamOS modes

That’s just the broad strokes for people already familiar with how Steam and SteamOS work. For a more specific step-by-step, this guide from overkill.wtf is one of the most detailed I’ve seen, including exact file paths you’ll need to map within Steam. Gaming on Linux also has an excellent detailed guide.

A few troubleshooting tips from my own experience: If the game either doesn’t start or starts without sound, you may need to force the game to use a specific version of Proton (which allows Windows games to play under the Linux-based Steam OS). Right click on the Steam library entry for Battle.net, and go to Properties > Compatibility and require the app to use the recently released GE-Proton 7-51-diablo_4_beta version, specifically tweaked for Diablo IV.

To get that specific Proton version, if you don’t already have it, go to the Discovery app on the Steam Deck desktop, which is like an app store. Search for ProtonUp Qt. Install and run that app, and from there find and install the special «7-51-diablo_4_beta» version.

I told you it’s complicated.

Once I’d done all that, Diablo IV ran pretty well on the Steam Deck for me. At low graphics settings and 1,200×800-pixel resolution, I hit 40 to 60 frames per second most of the time, with some occasional lag and stuttering. If the game is missing audio or the Steam Deck controls don’t work, you may need to double check the version of Proton Battle.net is using, restart the Steam Deck or reinstall Diablo IV. Some combination of those finally got everything working for me.
