How to Gameshare With Diablo 4

Diablo 4 is one of the most popular cooperative multiplayer games available, but players are wondering if it is possible to game share with their friends or family.

Gamesharing is when players use the same account to download a game to a second console. It’s a system that users can take advantage of to share a game with a family member or close friend.

There were issues with this process during the Early Access period, but that doesn’t mean that gamesharing isn’t possible.

Can You Gameshare Diablo 4 Early Access?

No, it was not possible to gameshare Diablo 4 Early Access that was obtained by pre-ordering the Digital Deluxe or Ultimate Editions of the game.

The Diablo 4 Community Manager, Adam Fletcher (PezRadar) confirmed this in the Blizzard Forum by stating that:

Users who purchase a Deluxe/Ultimate Edition on an account should use that same account to host couch co-op sessions during the Early Access period. This ensures the guest player can join and participate in co-op.

Accounts that weren’t the original purchaser of Deluxe/Ultimate Edition of the game on that console will not be able to play in Early Access unless they join as a second player with the account that made the original purchase.

Thankfully, this issue was only present for the Early Access portion of Diablo IV. Now that the Standard Release is here, gamesharing should work well.
