Diablo 4 free download announced, no subscription needed

You know what's great? Diablo 4. You know what else is great? Free downloads. You can probably see where I'm going with this.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Blizzard knocked it out of the park with Diablo 4. The long-awaited fourth entry in the hellish action RPG series has delivered the goods in a big way, offering an enormous world to explore, plenty of loot to find, and massive monsters to take down with friends or alone - the always online thing does kind of suck, though.

Anyway, those of you currently enjoying all the satanic delights Diablo 4 has to offer will be thrilled to learn that you can get your hands on some sweet free downloads - although you don't have much longer to claim them.

If you pay attention to such matters, you'll be aware that Blizzard teamed up with Twitch earlier this month to give players a chance to grab in-game cosmetics for all five classes, as well as a special Primal Instinct Mount.

Each week players have had the chance to grab rewards for each of Diablo 4's classes. So far, we've had the Rogue, Necromancer, Sorcerer, and Druid. This final week, then, is centred around the Barbarian (my personal favourite).

If you're a fellow Barbarian and fancy getting the Twitch drops for this week, you need to clock up three hours of watch-time on eligible streams. That'll get you the Azurehand Skull-Crusher. For the Matriarch's Mantle Back Trophy, you need six hours.

These cosmetics are entirely free, unless you're counting your precious time as currency. Just be aware that you only have until Monday (July 3) at 7:59am BST to get 'em.

Oh, and if you only care about the Primal Instinct Mount? That one will cost you actual money, we're afraid. This bonus is part of the campaign's Support a Streamer. Given that you'll need to subscribe to two eligible Twitch streamers, and given that the lowest subscription tier is £4.99, you're looking at £9.98 for a mount. If you think that's worth it I'm not here to judge. Not out loud, anyway.
