At this point, Diablo 4 is a very different game than it was at launch. There have been countless updates to the game to fix everything from balance to loot, and we're two expansions in as of this year. It seems like the future is bright for the game and the Diablo universe overall.
The Diablo series grew as a whole in 2026 as well. Diablo 2 got its own Warlock expansion, and Diablo Immortal has been getting steady content updates since launch, alongside new classes. It's been a busy year for the series across multiple games. Now, you can give Diablo 4 a go thanks to a new Xbox promotion, but it's only free for a week.
Xbox is including Diablo 4 in its "Xbox Free Play Days" promotion, which makes games free to play for a limited time. For Diablo 4, it's from June 30 through July 7, which is a full week and longer than the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 timeline (which runs from July 2 to July 6). Note that this is under the "Free Play Days For All" banner, so you can play it even if you don't have a Game Pass subscription....
