Diablo 4 couch co-op: Platforms
Diablo 4 has couch co-op for up to two people and will be available to enjoy on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Unfortunately, at the moment, couch co-op is not available for those playing on PC.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Diablo general manager Rob Fergusson explained that “trying to do shared-screen co-op on PC is much more challenging when it comes to account management and how you play together”.
While the developers haven’t ruled out the possibility of PC couch co-op, it seems there are more challenges than just technology, with the difficulties of space and sharing a PC screen.
