A free trial of Diablo 4 is now available, as Blizzard competes with the early access version of Path of Exile 2.
The free trial is available on Xbox, PlayStation and Battle Net until January 3 and includes the new Spiritborn class from the Vessel of Hatred expansion.
Additionally, the game is available for 40 percent off on Xbox and PlayStation, and 35 percent off on Battlenet and Steam, if you want to turn the free trial into a full purchase.
Vessel of Hatred launched in October and added the Spiritborn class and a new jungle region.
“A polished and fascinating upgrade that sinks its claws into you, introducing perhaps the best character class in Diablo history,” reads our review of Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred.

However, Diablo now has strong competition from Path of Exile 2, another ARPG that launched in early access this month.
Prior to its release, it reached one million early access redemptions and on Steam quickly reached a peak concurrent player count of 578,569.
“Soulful excitement combines with sky-high production values to make Path of Exile 2 a hugely impressive package, even in Early Access,” reads our Path of Exile 2 Early Access review.
Still, its developer admitted that the game “wasn't rewarding enough” as it addressed initial feedback and laid out plans to tweak its rewards.
Diablo 4 is also available on Xbox Game Pass.
