I had played Diablo II when I was young. I’m not a big Diablo fan, but I’m attracted by this new release, and I’m interested to play with my friends.

I can’t decide that I should buy a PS5 version or PC version. Here are some pros and cons I’m thinking about.

• I don’t have a powerful gaming PC yet. Before I made my decision of a new PC build, I may need to play with low quality graph (EDIT: I already have a PS5).
• I could buy a pre-owned PS5 Disc, which is cheaper. If I don’t like it, I could trade-in the disc.
• I don’t have a PS membership right now. I know I missed one promotion in early June. Is the membership necessary for playing Diablo IV?
• If I need to organize my backpack, will keyboard&mouse be more convenient than controller?
• I have a Steam Deck and I want to use it for some causal play. Proton or PS Remote Play, which works better?

Thank you for all your suggestions.

EDIT: Considering the suggestion by @[email protected], I’ve purchased the PS5 version so we could enjoy the game together in the living room. We also confirmed that, without PS+, it’s okay to play solo.
