Does Diablo IV Have a Free Trial?

Diablo IV is continuing to grow and get better over time with each new season of the online action RPG. With the Vessel of Hatred expansion on the horizon and more content on the way, it makes sense why some players would wonder if there is a Diablo IV free trial. Here’s what you need to know about if you can play this game for free or not.

Is There a Diablo IV Free Trial?

Unfortunately, I don’t have good news for you at this time. Sadly, there is no free trial or demo-like feature available for Diablo IV at this time. This is a common feature for a lot of RPGs and other massive games like this one. I can also understand why some players may think there is a free trial as well.

After all, Blizzard made this game like an MMO-lite in how it is always online and features tons of players scouring the world together at the same time. Since MMOs out there like FFXIV and even Blizzard’s own World of Warcraft offer free trials, it can make sense for you to think there is one for this game as well. Unfortunately, there isn’t, though, at this time.

Can You Play Diablo IV for Free?

While there is no free trial right now, there is a way to play Diablo IV “for free.” Well, kind of, depending on how you look at it. You see, you can play this online Blizzard action RPG as one of the games featured in Xbox Game Pass. If you have an active Game Pass subscription right now, you can check this game out in its entirety.

Of course, there is the stipulation that you must play for Game Pass in the first place. But considering it is a fraction of the cost of this full game, plus you get to check out other games at the same time, I think it is a pretty worthy deal. It is certainly the most cost-effective way to play Diablo IV and see if it is right for you.

Diablo IV is available right now for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Game Pass subscribers can play the game for free as part of an active subscription.
