Diablo IV has just been released on Steam with a pleasant surprise. It's Steam Deck Verified, which means players can experience the game on the go with any handheld-like devices like ASUS ROG Ally and Aya Neo. That's what was expected, but the player base is currently dissatisfied with the game's state. User reviews currently rate it as 'Mixed,' with users reporting issues such as freezing stutters and server timeouts.
Another consideration is that the game requires a minimum of 90GB of available storage, exceeding the capacity of the base Steam Deck model. Additionally, the SteamOS compatibility layer consumes a significant amount of storage space with shader caches.
It's advisable to wait a few weeks before purchasing the title. If you can't wait, keep in mind that you have two hours of playtime to request a refund for the game.
