Diablo IV Comparisons From the Open Beta on PC and Consoles Shows Great Optimization Across The Board
With the early access to the open beta now having kicked off, the very first Diablo IV comparisons have been released, showing promising performance.
The open beta became available for those who pre-ordered the highly-anticipated title some days ago, and Tech YouTuber 'ElAnalistaDebits' has now released the very first comparison videos of the game running on different platforms. The YouTuber released a total of three comparison videos over the past few hours, one comparing the Xbox One, Xbox One X, and Xbox Series X|S versions to each other, a video comparing Diablo IV running on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and finally a PlayStation 4/Pro/PS5 comparison video.
