Blizzard’s Diablo IV will receive an update to take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s increased horsepower. It is the first Microsoft game to have a publicly confirmed PS5 Pro upgrade, though others could be in the works.
Blizzard’s Diablo boss Rod Fergusson confirmed this on social media, stating that Diablo IV and the Vessel of Hatred expansion will be “PS5 Pro enhanced.” Fergusson added that he is “very proud of our hardworking team to make this happen.” More details will come later.

Diablo IV launched in June 2023 across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC–this was just a few months before Microsoft’s deal to buy Activision Blizzard closed in October 2023. Since then, Microsoft has brought a number of other games to PlayStation, including Sea of Thieves and Grounded.
