How does crossplay work in Diablo Immortal?
In Diablo Immortal there should not only be crossplay between mobile platforms and PC, but also cross-progression. In concrete terms, this means on the one hand that you can easily play with friends who play on another platform. You can also change the platform yourself at any time and, for example, play on the PC at home and continue at the same place on the go with your smartphone.
We were able to try out how Diablo Immortal plays on mobile phones a while ago and were pleasantly surprised:
What is the difference between the PC and mobile versions?
Although Diablo Immortal will launch as a beta on PC, this version is intended to contain all of the content and features of the original game. Also, when development is complete, all your progress from the beta will carry over.
The PC version will not look any different from the mobile version either. The live stream only mentions that modern smartphones have a very high resolution, which is why the game is also available on the PC gorgeous
look. You can see screenshots from both versions here:

How do Diablo Immortal controls work on PC?
On the PC you will not only be able to control Diablo Immortal with a controller, but also with a mouse and keyboard. In the classic way, you let your character run and attack with a click of the mouse. Alternatively, you can even use WASD to move for the first time in Diablo history.
On your smartphone or tablet, you have the choice of using the touchscreen to control or connecting a controller. But back to the PC version: This trailer gives you a foretaste of the action-packed gameplay:
