Blizzard is offering a free trial of Diablo 4 across multiple platforms, which coincides with the early access launch of Path of Exile 2. This trial period, available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Battle.net, gives access to the game and its recent Vessel of Hatred expansion, including the new Spiritborn class, until January 3, 2025.
For players looking to continue their experience beyond the trial, Diablo 4 is also on sale with a 40% discount on Xbox and PlayStation, and a 35% discount on Battle.net and Steam. The official Diablo Twitter account promoted the free trial with a link to push the game to those who haven't purchased it.
The availability of a free trial for Diablo 4, alongside discounts, signals an attempt by Blizzard to draw in new players and retain existing ones amidst the release of a major competitor, Path of Exile 2. The discounts lower the entry point for those who may have been hesitant to buy the game at full price or may be on the fence between buying either game.
