Hey guys quick question:
- Let’s say I purchase the ultimate edition on PC. I get all the advantages, early access, mount etc…
- Let’s now consider I also purchase Diablo 4 on PS5. I will pair my PS5 account to battle.net. So I will also get the mount, cosmetics etc… since it is the same account.
Correct?
Will I also be able to play 4 days ahead If I only get the regular version on PS5?
Thank you!
Yes, you would get all those things you unlocked on the PC. So you’d only need the standard version for your console.
The early access, on the other hand, I’m not sure.
Thanks, appreciate the quick reply!
I hate to say it but why would you buy a copy for PC, and a console. Seems redundant unless you are buying a copy for you, your wife, and kids. However, if that is the case then they should all be using their own Battle net accounts since per Blizzard EULA and TOS stuff you cannot share your account with anyone.
If you are just weird and want to spend money on the game for multiple consoles so you can play from couch to computer to office then it sounds to me like you should have 3 separate accounts anyways to separate the consoles from PC and vise versa.
I just see so many problems with this the main one being people essentially getting early access for 3 of their 4 accounts by simply buying ultimate on pc then buying 3 copies on console and after each time buying linking it to their same bnet account to get all 4 early access at nearly half the costs.
3x69.99$ & 1x99.99$ vs the true price for them 4x99.99$
Even at 2, 3 or more copies people could essentially make dummy accounts do what you are saying with say 100 copies of D4 linking them all to the same bnet account (cause I own 100 PS5’s lmao) giving all 99 copies the early access as the PC version bought then selling it on 3rd party sites for 89.99 a piece making 20$ off each copy granting early access same as the 100$ version which saves 20$ to the consumer (aka whoever buys it from me).
So because of this kinda maybe loophole thing I am pretty sure if you already own D4 on an account it wont let you link another copy that you purchased to it.
You only get the early access on the platform you bought it on.

Yes I’m the weird version.
Want it on PC to be able to enjoy my 4090 on my gaming setup and also on the go on my laptop once in a while.
But I also want to play with my wife on the PS5, on the couch.
That’s why I was wondering if the linked account on PS5 would give me access to the Early Access activated on my PC. So we can start playing on PS5 on D-day.
She won’t play on PC in my office. Lady prefers the couch and large TV. Can’t blame her!
But I don’t see why it would make sense for me to have multiple account. I can go from my PC to my PS5 and keep on the same character. Its the whole point on cross-plateform save.
I would suggest to open a ticket if its a huge issue having multiple accounts to do what you want. I still say you would have to have multiple accounts 1 for you and 1 for your wife. And that you wouldnt be able to link multiple copies of diablo 4 to 1 battlenet account.
If you can go from PC to PS5 with your account that has the Ultimate Edition on it that only accounts for you, not your wife for couch coop so. You wouldnt be able to purchase another copy and link it to that account that already has purchased the game. Hence you would need 2 accounts and also blizzard doesnt allow account sharing so letting your wife play your account on console would be against the TOS/EULA so I suspect they will tell you that you must have 2 accounts.
Again thou open a ticket ask them directly they will give you a straight answer.
Found out I was deploying after I had pre purchase the ultimate edition on PC. Could only bring the ps5 on the deployment. Purchased the ultimate edition again. No complaints though as I’ll be able to play and can pick up my progress on my pc when I get back. Best design ever.
