Diablo 4 is now on Xbox Game Pass, but there’s more good news for those eyeing a physical copy. Amazon has slashed its price to just $29.99 (check here), a substantial discount for a critically acclaimed game released just last year. It’s a deal unlikely to recur anytime soon.
It’s not as big as the Walmart offer from the other week, but it is still a substantial discount, and unlike the Walmart listing, it’s available for everyone and not just those in select locations. Diablo 4 launched with a $69.99 MSRP, so a $40 reduction is pretty substantial, and well worth considering if you want to own the game to play whenever you want.
Even when the Prime Day sales eventually roll back around this summer, we’d be increasingly surprised if the deal comes anywhere close to this. Your only barrier to entry now — stock levels. This is such a good deal, that it’s highly likely to sell out fast. For more great deals, consider checking out the Amazon Gaming Week sale with discounts on PS5 SSDs, headsets, SD cards, power banks, gaming PCs and so much more.
In our review of the game, we said: “Diablo 4 is a stunning sequel with near-perfect endgame and progression design that makes it absolutely excruciating to put down. The story is a pretty big disappointment despite still being a noticeable improvement over Diablo 3 and there are some annoying bugs that need squashing, but the combat, the loot game, and both the sights and sounds of this world are impressive enough to smooth over those rough edges.”
“Diablo 4 takes the strategy of refining things the series already did so well rather than giving it a more substantial overhaul, and that careful and reverent path has shaped this massive sequel into one of the most polished ARPGs ever created, which makes slicing through the legions of the damned a hell of a good time.”
This is one of the best PS5 deals available right now, but there are a couple of decent Nintendo deals going on at the moment that are worth checking out, too. Mainly, you can pick up a select few Nintendo games for just $39.99 right now, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
