Diablo 4 is the latest installment in the critically acclaimed Diablo series. It offers a dark fantasy theme, fast-paced combat, and an open world filled with deadly enemies and plenty of loot to gather. If you've been considering trying the game but aren't sure if it's right for you, you'll be pleased to know that you can play it for free for the next handful of days.
While the free extended weekend won’t be around forever, it does give you a chance to try before you buy. Better yet, the game is currently enjoying a 40% discount on Steam with a thriving player count. We recently saw it enter the top 5 Steam Deck games after the new season dropped, so it’s a great time to get involved.
Diablo 4 is free for the next five days
Gamescom is currently taking place and with it comes Diablo 4 for free, for a limited time on Steam. This is a great opportunity for anyone who has been eager to try the game. However, you’ll need to act quickly, as the free trial is only available until August 27th. After that, you'll need to purchase the game to continue playing.
Interestingly enough, this free offer seems to be absent from Blizzard’s own Battle.net storefront. The game is Steam Deck Verified and the system requirements are pretty lax, so you can get away with running it on a wide variety of machines including other handhelds like the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go.
You can also get a 40% discount until September 2nd
If you try the game and decide to continue playing after the free period ends, you can easily purchase it from Steam. Fortunately, the game is currently available at a massive discount of 40%, thanks to which its price has dropped from $49.99 to only $29.99. This is the lowest-ever price we’ve seen for the game so far, according to SteamDB charts. On top of that, the discount will be available until September 2nd, giving you plenty of time to make a decision after the free trial ends.
Diablo 4 has a massive open world where you can complete quests, fight bosses, gather loot, explore dungeons, and much more. You can choose from five different classes, each offering a unique set of abilities. The game also offers both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes, allowing you to team up with friends or battle against other players.
After completing the main campaign by defeating the final boss, you can delve into various endgame activities, such as challenging dungeons, raids, and PvP arenas. Overall, Diablo 4’s main story will take you around 26 hours to complete. However, 100% completion can take anywhere between 200 to 205 hours and new content is being added regularly.
