If you want to join in the fun and don’t own a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, you’ll need to know its PC requirements before you buy the game.

Luckily, Activision Blizzard has revealed both the minimum and recommended specs needed to play the game on PC - and the specifications don’t look too wild, meaning those gaming on a relatively tight budget should be able to play the RPG.

Keep on reading to find out the Diablo 4 minimum specs and recommended system requirements to play the game on PC and to check if your rig matches up.

Diablo 4 PC requirements: Minimum specs

These are the Diablo 4 minimum specs as per the official Blizzard website:

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 10 version 1909 or newer
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX-8350
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 280
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: SSD with 90 GB available space
  • Internet: Broadband Connection

The above requirements should be enough to play Diablo 4 on low graphics settings, 720p (render resolution) / 1080p native resolution at 30fps.

The development team has handily provided us with multiple versions of recommended specs to play Diablo 4 to medium, high, and 4K ultra settings.

If your PC matches or outperforms any of the recommended system requirements below it should play the game rather smoothly.

Medium

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 10 version 1909 or newer
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K or AMD R3-1300X
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 470
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: SSD with 90 GB available space
  • Internet: Broadband Connection

These settings should be enough to play Diablo 4 on medium graphics settings at 1080p, 60fps.

High

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 10 version 1909 or newer
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 2700X
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: SSD with 90 GB available space
  • Internet: Broadband Connection

Match these system specs and you should be able to play Diablo 4 on high graphics settings at 1080p, 60fps.

Ultra 4K

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 10 version 1909 or newer
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X

If you’re lucky enough to have a powerful PC that matches the ultra system specs above, you should be able to play Diablo 4 on ultra graphics settings in 4K, 60fps.

It's also worth noting that the minimum and recommended system requirements could change as the game develops over time and receives new updates.

Of course, you should also be able to play at higher resolutions and lower frame rates if you want to go for graphical fidelity over image smoothness or the other way around. Now it’s time to save Sanctuary from Lilith.
