Diablo IV finally arrives on Switch 2 with both expansions bundled in

Blizzard released Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection on Nintendo Switch 2 today, bundling the base game with the Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred expansions.

After years of fans asking for it, Diablo IV has officially landed on Nintendo Switch 2 this Tuesday. The package is called the Age of Hatred Collection, and it's not just the base game: it comes with both expansions Blizzard has released so far, Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred, all bundled into one code-in-box release.

Pricing lands at $69.99 in the US, which tracks given the bundle stacks three products that were normally sold separately. To actually play it you'll need a constant internet connection, an active Battle.net account, and a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, so anyone hoping for a fully offline Diablo session on the bus is going to be let down.

The announcement came straight from Nintendo's own storefront, which already lists the game as available for purchase and download on Switch 2, with crossplay support and shared progress for anyone already playing on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox. That's the kind of detail that separates a careful port from a lazy cash grab: you can keep leveling the character you already built elsewhere without losing anything.

The timing here isn't random. Blizzard had been showing off the port at recent events and specifically picked the launch date of a new in-game season to debut it on the hybrid console. It's a smart move because it pulls in both people who never touched Diablo IV and veterans who were just waiting for an excuse to jump back in.

My take as someone who's followed the franchise: bundling both expansions into the launch package right away sidesteps the piecemeal DLC fatigue that hurt the game early on, back when each expansion released separately and the total cost scared people off. If Switch 2 is your only platform and you were on the fence about jumping in from mobile Diablo III or never touched the series at all, this is the best entry point available right now.

The real open question, one only actual playtime will answer, is how Switch 2 handles an action-RPG this dense during long sessions with dozens of skill effects filling the screen at once. Blizzard hasn't shared technical details on resolution or frame rate for the port, and that's exactly the spot where the first community complaints are likely to show up in the coming days.
