Is crossplay in Diablo 4?

Yes! Crossplay is available in Diablo 4.

Players can play Diablo 4 with anyone else on the game on whatever platform they choose to play on. It doesn't even matter which generation of console you are playing on. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players can still play with players who are on the Series X | S and PlayStation 5 versions.

This is all possible thanks to Diablo 4 running through Actvision-Blizzard's Battle.Net platform. The Battle.Net system is used across all of Acti-Blizz's titles and allows for all of their games to be available to everyone.

When can I play crossplay in Diablo 4?

You cannot play crossplay with friends until after you have completed the prologue in the game. You need to reach the city of Kyovashad before being able to jump into a game with friends.

Also, it's worth noting that you can also play co-op locally with friends on consoles, but you will also have to reach this part of the story to unlock that too.
