‘Diablo 4’ Is Completely Free to Play On Steam for a Limited Time
Following BlizzCon, Diablo 4 is available as a free-to-play title on Steam through September 21, with the base game also receiving a 75% discount at $12.49 on both Steam and the Blizzard Store. The promotion offers an accessible opportunity for players to experience the demon-slaying action RPG.
The free-to-play version includes notable restrictions. Steam players are capped at level 30, with reports indicating characters reaching mid-levels before being instantly boosted to the level cap upon quest completion and subsequently losing access. A parallel trial on Battle.net allows players to experience the expansion class Spiritborn up to level 25.
The promotion arrives as Diablo 4 continues its live-service lifecycle following its October 2023 launch. Since its release, the game has received mixed critical reception, with some praise for its design elements alongside the typical challenges of maintaining player engagement within a live-service framework.
