How does crossplay work in Diablo Immortal?
In Diablo Immortal there should not only be cross-play 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 switch platforms yourself at any time. So you can play at home on the PC and continue on the go with your smartphone at the same point.
We were able to try out how Diablo Immortal plays on mobile phones a while ago and were pleasantly surprised:

How does the PC version work?
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.
Also visually, the PC version will probably not differ from the original. 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

On the PC you will not only be able to control Diablo Immortal with a controller, but also with a mouse and keyboard. You can let your character run and attack in the classic way with a mouse click, or even move it with WASD.
