No doubt many of you are off seeing family, celebrating Thanksgiving before the Christmas mayhem begins. However, if you are looking to do something while the turkey digests, you can get a copy of Diablo 4 on PC for free right now.
If you head over to Steam, you’ll see it’s currently available for the princely sum of $0. Of course, this is just a temporary discount, but you do have up to November 28, so you still have a few days left.
However, if your internet is anything like mine (the countryside, amirite?) that might be how long it’ll take to download the game. For you see, it’s a pretty hefty 84 GB in size. That’s still less than Modern Warfare 3‘s ludicrous 150 GB, but still.
Do you spell it 4 or IV?
After over ten years of waiting for a proper follow-up, Blizzard finally dropped Diablo 4 in June (October for PC). We thought it was pretty great in our review, but others evidently don’t feel the same. Currently, it’s showing as “Mixed” on Steam, with a few comments taking note of some rather lackluster gameplay.
On the plus side, we get to temporarily try it for free over the next few days, so even if it isn’t fantastic, nothing ventured, nothing gained, yeah? We also recently learned there’s an expansion coming in late 2024 called Vessel of Hatred. On top of that, Blizzard is pushing out patches to bring improvements and fixes to the game.
Ooh, look. There’s less than three hours to go now until Diablo 4 finishes downloading. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
