When added up, players will have to fork out $150 if they want to purchase every new cosmetic item.

Limited-time updates and events are nothing new forDiablo 4, with the hack-and-slash game taking a seasonal approach to new content. Over the last year or so, players have witnessedDiablo 4change in big ways, with all kinds of new enemies, missions, quests, and rewards being added to the game.Diablo 4received its first big expansion last year, Vessel of Hatred, which shook things up considerably.Diablo 4’s newest update adds a lot of cosmetic items into the mix, but not everyone is happy about the prices.

Reddit user HilltopHood shared a breakdown of the cost ofDiablo 4’s newBerserkupdate to the rest of the game’s online community, prompting hundreds of comments. Many were offended by the price, with one fan explaining that with $150, they could buy several other new games and still have some cash left over. Others argued that buying cosmetics in a game likeDiablo 4is “pointless.”
Players Call Out Blizzard For Cost of Diablo 4’s New Update
Bundle prices range between 2,500 and 2,800 Platinum,Diablo 4’s premium currency. The cost of the entireBerserkset will run players 16,500 Platinum, though they will have to purchase more currency than they need, actually totaling 18,500, or $150. This is hardly the first timeDiablo 4has made waves over its pricing structure, with the game deploying several pricey cosmetic packs and items in the time it’s been out. This is an issue that dates back years though, withDiablo 3also causing controversy. Things were especially dicey withDiablo 3’s auction system, which allowed players to spend real money on weapons, charms, and other items directly from other players, a system which was eventually removed.
There is still excitement forDiablo 4’s newBerserkevent, though it’s certainly been dampened due to these prices. Players are currently wrapped up inDiablo 4’s Season 8 cycle, which brought some new upgrades and additions to the game. From class balancing changes to new items, the grind never truly stops inDiablo 4. A fully-fledged DLC expansion is not set to release until 2026 forDiablo 4, though considering Blizzard’s willingness to collaborate, it seems likely players can look forward to more wild and “out there” updates as 2025 continues.
