Will the Diablo 4 beta be on the Switch?

This means Nintendo loyalists who are looking to play through the pre-release phase will only be able to do so on the aforementioned systems. Even more troubling is the fact that Diablo 4 is seemingly going to be excluded from the handheld console’s catalog on launch day.

Its omission from the list of compatible systems comes as a surprise to many since the game’s predecessor, Diablo 3, was previously playable on the Switch. It’s worth noting, though, that it was only released on Nintendo’s platform after four years so this may be the case once again with the fourth installment.

At the time of writing, Blizzard is yet to acknowledge or make an announcement regarding their latest creation’s current and future availability on the Switch. However, we will continue to update this page with the latest information as soon as we receive more details from the developers themselves.
