The reason for this restriction is presumed to be technical in nature, but Blizzard does not provide any additional information on the subject matter. A single lobby on the Nintendo Switch can accommodate a maximum of four players at a time. In order to accommodate the Nintendo Switch platform, Blizzard was forced to reduce that total to half. When playing Diablo 2: Resurrected multiplayer on a PC or other non-Switch platform, the game will support up to eight players in a single lobby at the same time. It was discovered in a blog post published recently and confirmed by Blizzard on social media on Wednesday that the Nintendo Switch version of Diablo 2: Resurrected has a significant limitation, which was confirmed by the company on social media on Wednesday. Unluckily, the Nintendo Switch version of Diablo 2: Resurrection will have the greatest number of restrictions, which is a shame.

In contrast, the PC-centric game was always going to be limited in terms of its functionality.

In order to ensure that Diablo 2: Resurrected's authenticity is preserved across all platforms, including mobile devices, Vicarious Visions, an Activision Blizzard team, has put forth tremendous effort. A statement from Blizzard has clarified that the Nintendo Switch version of Diablo 2: Resurrected does have one significant restriction, which pertains to the game's multiplayer capabilities.ĭiablo 2: Resurrected will be released on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S consoles for the first time in the United States in less than a week.
