Summary
- Diablo 4's new Berserk crossover cosmetics and items cost around $150 to unlock them all.
- The cost of the entire Berserk set will run players 16,500 Platinum, though they will have to purchase 18,500, or $150.
- The update has sparked outrage and backlash due to these high cosmetic prices.
Players aren't exactly thrilled with the price of Diablo 4's new Berserk-related items, which dropped this week. When added up, players will have to fork out $150 if they want to purchase every new cosmetic item. The new update has been teased by Blizzard for quite some time, though fans are now pushing back hard due to just how expensive Diablo 4's latest "free" update actually is, all things considered.
Limited-time updates and events are nothing new for Diablo 4, with the hack-and-slash game taking a seasonal approach to new content. Over the last year or so, players have witnessed Diablo 4 change in big ways, with all kinds of new enemies, missions, quests, and rewards being added to the game. Diablo 4 received 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.
Diablo 4: How Do Reliquaries Work?
Here's a brief explainer for Reliquaries, Diablo 4's updated take on the tried-and-tested battle pass.
Diablo 4's Berserk crossover is here, marking an exciting yet controversial time for the game, with the cost of the new update causing outrage from players. Reddit user HilltopHood shared a breakdown of the cost of Diablo 4's new Berserk update 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 like Diablo 4 is "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 entire Berserk set 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 time Diablo 4 has 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, with Diablo 3 also causing controversy. Things were especially dicey with Diablo 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 for Diablo 4's new Berserk event, though it's certainly been dampened due to these prices. Players are currently wrapped up in Diablo 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 in Diablo 4. A fully-fledged DLC expansion is not set to release until 2026 for Diablo 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.
