THERE’S been a lot in the news about Diablo 4, for better or for worse, and many are left wondering what the game is actually about.

The dungeon-crawling ARPG was one of the most popular games of 2023, and the huge Vessel of Hatred expansion brought many players back in 2024.

Diablo 4 can be played completely solo, with players grinding their characters for years to make them the strongest they can be for battle.

Solo players often spend years perfecting their builds, but there is a quicker way to make a deep run.

You can also play online in teams with other players, which can help out a lot in dungeons.

Friends work together to create a team with great synergy, allowing them to take on dungeons above their levels.

PC gamers are invited to play Diablo 4, including the Vessel of Hatred expansion, completely free for the next week.

This is an unlimited trial meaning there is no limit on how long you can play, or how much of the game you can explore.

If you decide to purchase the game after the trial ends, you will be able to carry over your save data and nothing will be lost.

This is the perfect opportunity to see if you enjoy the game and want to continue playing risk-free.

Diablo 4’s free week also comes at the perfect time, as the game’s Season 7, dubbed the Season of Witchcraft, just launched.

The trial ends on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm UK.

You can download it right now from the Battle.net store and play as much as you like until the deadline, when you will be locked out.

However, if you buy the game and use the same account then you can pick up right where you left off.

The sooner you log in, the longer you’ll have to play, so pick it up if you’re interested.

Tabbing In

Diablo 4 is a pricey game, especially with the numerous microtransactions and pricey DLC.

If you’ve never played it before, it’s definitely a game you’ll want to try before you buy, given the time and financial investment required.

Many players got their character to a good level within the first week of launch, though admittedly many played non-stop.
