Diablo 4 actually exists, and we’re just months away from getting into the continuation of the game’s franchise since Diablo 3.

Which Diablo 4 Edition Should You Get?
This question is really dependent on how much you see yourself invested in the long run of Diablo 4. If you’re going to play this casually, you might want to get the Standard Edition and call it a day. It’ll give you some goodies for other games if you play them and early access to the March 17 weekend beta.
If you’re someone who is a bit more hardcore and you want the full experience of the game upfront, the Deluxe Edition will be more up your alley. It contains everything the Standard Edition does, but with early access, mount items, and the battle pass.
Now with the Ultimate Edition, you will have access to everything plus that emote and 20 tier skips to the battle pass. This is the most definitive edition of the game at launch, but you’re essentially paying 10 more USD just to get ahead of everyone else.
So the bottom line is, you should get the Standard Edition if you tend to play this game every now and then. If you’re a hardcore Diablo fan and you’re going to sink dozens to over a hundred hours in the first few weeks, get the Deluxe Edition. The Ultimate Edition does seem enticing, but you’re paying just to grind less.
