Diablo 4 PlayStation 5 Bug Forces Players To Buy MicroTransaction To Keep Playing

gameranx.com:

There’s a strange bug going on with Diablo 4 on the PlayStation 5 right now, that is literally costing gamers money so they can keep playing.

As reported by Dexerto, Diablo 4 players on PlayStation 5 are unable to log on to Battle.net, a prerequisite to play Diablo 4 on all platforms.

When they try to log on, players are met with this message:

“Unable to find a valid license for Diablo IV.”

Now, players have discovered that there is a way to get around this issue, but I think most everyone, including no less than Blizzard themselves, will agree that this is absolutely unnecessary and unreasonable.

Basically, if you buy any of the microtransactions for Diablo 4, the game will then properly authenticate you, and then you will be able to move forward and play the game.

Apparently this will work for even the smallest in game package that Diablo 4 offers. What this means is that there is something in the purchase process itself that opens up the authentication of Diablo 4 player licenses.

In fact, a hacker claims that if you find a free download on PSN, that download will also be enough to get your PlayStation 5 to properly recognize your Diablo 4 license, then allowing you to log on to Battle.net and get into your game.

Blizzard did catch wind of this bug, and promptly shared this message on Twitter:

“We are seeing reports regarding PlayStation users experiencing Invalid License errors.

The team is looking into this right now and will update once we have more information.”

So, there is no resolution yet, but thankfully Blizzard is now investigating this issue.

If the error goes on indefinitely, players may have to move away from the PlayStation 5 and keep playing the game on a different platform, such as Windows, or
