Does Diablo 2 Resurrected have a physical copy? Players let down by digital release
Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 2 Resurrected brings Blizzard’s iconic Diablo 2 into the modern age, but will it come with a cool physical edition like the original?
One of the best things about playing the original Diablo games were the physical editions filled with terrifyingly cool artwork and how-to instructions for new players. Oozing heavy metal vibes, they were a great addition to your gaming collection – although your mom probably disagreed.
Coming into Diablo 2 Resurrected, a lot of players are hoping to see a remastered version of the physical edition as well.
So will OG players be able to hold a piece of nostalgia in their hands? Or is Diablo 2 Resurrected only available in virtual form?

u/GFellerDiablo 2 Resurrected physical copy: does it exist?
Much to the disappointment of fans, no physical copy has been announced for Diablo 2: Resurrected. For now, Blizzard has only announced digital versions of the game. Although this doesn’t mean they will never do a physical edition, it’s looking unlikely, with no mention anywhere from developers.
Although extensive press kits have been making waves on Twitter, players will only be able to obtain the game electronically.
Where can I buy Diablo 2 Resurrected?
If you can’t walk into a store and pick up Blizzard’s devilishly delightful remaster, then where can you actually buy it?
The title is available for PC, Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox One and the X|S Series, and here’s where you can pick it up:
- PC: Using the Battle.net store
- Switch: Via the Nintendo store
- PlayStation 4 & 5: Via the PlayStation store.
- XBOX One & X|S Series: Via the Microsoft store.
It’ll set you back $40 (£35) but it’s likely to be worth it for long-time fans of the franchise.
