Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 4 has gone gold, meaning that the game's ready to ship ahead of its 6th June release date on PS5 and PS4. A few months back, there were actually some (unsubstantiated) whispers that the action RPG would be delayed to later in the year, but the date has stuck.
This is all following on from immensely popular closed and open beta tests, which the developer has used to adjust the game in meaningful ways based on player feedback.
Of course, it's worth pointing out that June is looking like an especially stacked month. Street Fighter 6 is on for the 2nd, and Final Fantasy XVI is locked in for the 22nd. Hopefully we'll all have enough time to get our fill of Diablo 4 before the other big action RPG of 2023 lands just over a couple of weeks later.

I can’t wait for this! I managed to avoid both open & closed betas. I know this game will be a huge time sink for quite some time.
So that's still lots of work required post beta. Seems like a day 1 patch to me.
Still tempted to pre order, but I've been playing grim dawn and it's quite fun and filling the lack of diablo. Seeing as I bought diablo 3 at least four times, I suspect I'll defo be getting at some point!
@Blofse expect a day 1, day 2, day 3, etc. patch
Love Diablo but I’m not sure I’ll get this at launch, it depends how it’s going with TOTK. Maybe it’s better to get this after FF16 🤔 but will I be able to resist it…
I plan to play but hate having to pay a subscription fee for online. So dumb. Thanks Microsoft!
Oh well.
Ive never played any diablo games, but always hear good things about them. Might have to give one of them a try at somepoint.
This is going to take over my life.
Really looking forward to it.
Don't know if it's the 1st, 2nd but I remember I used play this series back in the early 2000s when I tried to be a PC gamer after N64. Then the PS2 released and just couldn't be bothered with all that PC tweaking.
Cant wait. I loved D2 back in the days, skipped D3. I played D4 beta just to kill time, no expectations, man i got so hyped im getting this on day 1.
@TheArt yeah, it was like, damn, do I want to play this at 640x480 or 800x600? Windowed or full screen? Oh never mind, it’s bed time anyway.
I quite liked D3 and D4 will be just same, but I'm looking forward new quests and daemon slaying... But it will never step over shadow of D2 and D1 which are true masterpieces.
@kyleforrester87 😆 I mean I got FIFA 2003 and player's names weren't appearing on kits, can't remember if I googled, yahooed or msn-ed solutions at the time, and they said graphics card problems and whatnot, I'm like F this sh** I'm out! 😆
@TheArt you probably asked Jeeves’d!
I refuse to support this Company given its reputation with sexual harassment plus this game is online only which is something I simply refuse to support. Putting all of this aside I will admit Diablo 4 does look nice. I enjoyed 2 and 3 but I'm not going to be playing this one.
@KaijuKaiser Same I'm dying to play FF16. I Find it bizarre how one minute everyone here is Anti Blizzard now they're all excited because of this one game. It's almost as if the Sexual Harassment Lawsuits never happened.
Diablo is a top 5 all time franchise for me, so i am there Day 1 but wow is June loaded, so many good games that month. Happy to see a stacked month. I am not normally a FF fan, but that is now looking good to me. I probably won’t get it at launch, but will try it at some point.
Never forget - Cyberpunk 2077 went gold and was then promptly delayed about a month. Obviously we now know why, but "going gold" doesn't guarantee that a game will release on schedule
If it gets a offline, solo mode, then I'll return to hell with a grim smile.
@sword_9mm just get a superior pc.
free online
@nomither6
I already have a PS5 and don't care to buy more electronic stuff I have no time for. So stupid online 'fee' it is.
It'll depend on friends if I get this day one or not... otherwise I'll be too busy with ToTK and then FFXVI... I really enjoyed the betas and I'll 100% be picking D4 up sometime before the first season is up.
