There are enough differences in the way that PC and consoles will ultimately run the game - most consoles lack a keyboard and mouse, for example - that it isn’t a trivial undertaking to make cross-play work. Diablo 4 is aiming to have both cross-progression and cross-play, but Diablo 2: Resurrected will not have cross-play - if you want to group with other players, you will need to be using the same platform as them, at least at the current time. It doesn’t include the ability to, as an example, get into a multiplayer group with people on a different platform. It means that your version of your Resurrected Barbarian’s playthrough can be shared between your PC, your Nintendo Switch, your Xbox Series X and even your PlayStation. How is cross-progression different from cross-play?Ĭross-progression just means being able to progress in the game across multiple platforms. But on consoles you’ll be asked to do so if you want to use cross-progression. You’ll be using the app to launch games on PC, so you won’t really have to worry about linking those saves to your account.

These saves will be online saves - Resurrected will have both online and offline save options, so make sure you save the game you want to continue as an online one so other platforms can access it. The Blizzard version will link saves to your account so that you can save your game while playing upstairs on your Switch, then go down to the living room and pick up where you left off on your PlayStation, and then after saving the game there you could later load up that exact same save on your computer. What is cross-progression?Ĭross-progression basically means that Diablo 2: Resurrected and Diablo 4 can play the exact same character/save on multiple platforms. What does cross-progression mean? Is it the same as cross-play? Well, here come some answers. It’s a feature we’ve seen in other games - Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla has it, for example - but it’s new to the Diablo franchise.īut if you aren’t familiar with the term, you may have some questions.

If you’ve been watching BlizzConline (or reading about it), you’ve probably heard mention of cross-progression, a feature you’ll find in both Diablo 2: Resurrected and Diablo 4.
