How demanding is Diablo 4?

Its minimum memory requirement of 8 GB is higher than 37% of the 183 PC games we track. Its 90 GB install is larger than 79% of them.

Diablo 4 requires hardware that’s a few generations old. The minimum specs suggest an older budget machine, while the recommended specs fit a modest mid-range gaming PC by today’s standards. Storage is crucial here: both tiers need 90 GB of available space, and they both require an SSD. A hard drive just won’t cut it. The graphics card also plays a big role, as the leap from 30fps at low settings to 60fps at medium settings mainly hinges on it.

One strange point is that the recommended specs don’t increase the storage requirement, so you’ll need the same install size either way. Make sure to install it on an SSD with the full 90 GB free. If your system currently has 8 GB of RAM, consider upgrading to 16 GB. Good news for handheld gamers: the Steam Deck is listed as Verified, so you can play on the go.
