Make Sure Your PC Is Set For ‘Diablo IV’ On Launch Day

This coming June, the arrival of Lilith and her demonic armies will usher a new entry in a storied franchise, as Diablo IV will finally land on both PC and consoles. Blizzard has been hard at work creating a darker, more foreboding world, but in order to experience that in its full glory on your PC, it is vital to know the system requirements for Diablo IV. This is where we come in.

As usual, when gaming on the PC, you can look at both the minimum and recommended requirements, with the latter offering better performance and beyond for Diablo IV.

Diablo IV PC Minimum Requirements

• OS: 64-bit Windows 10
• Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX-8100
• 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

This setup will allow you to run at either 1080 or 720p, with graphics set on low and 30FPS. Obviously, this will not be the best way to enjoy the game, and any hardware below these levels will diminish the overall experience. Blizzard has definitely pushed the minimum requirements as low as it can, and hopefully, this will allow more players to join in the fun.

To truly get the most out of your adventure in Sanctuary in Diablo IV on PC, here’s what you will likely need at a decent level:

Recommended Requirements

• OS: 64-bit Windows 10
• 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

With these components, you are looking at Diablo IV running at 1080p resolution on medium graphics settings, and a much smoother 60FPS on the PC. Again, with better gear, you will be able to fully unleash the beauty of the game and enjoy the action as you slay demon after demon before bringing Lilith down.

If you rather not have to think about which parts to upgrade or replace in time for the 6 June release of Diablo IV, there is always the option of gaming laptops that can do the heavy lifting. The likes of the Aftershock Nova 16X, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, and the MSI Titan GT77 HX are more than capable of powering your next trip to hell.

While you can certainly enjoy Diablo IV on consoles, we all know the PC experience is still where it’s at. Players who have pre-ordered the game will get a taste of the world first during the Early Access period of 17 to 19 March, before the Open Beta crowd joins in from 24 to 26 March.

Time for you to work hard and prepare yourself.
