From smashing your way through the hordes of hell as a barbarian, to a darker run as a necromancer, there\u2019s plenty of replay value.<\/p>\n<p>And what a gorgeous looking game! In fact, it\u2019s so nice that it\u2019s a shame to go through it alone.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the multiplayer option allows you to team up with others to tackle the diabolical challenges of Sanctuary.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to find out how to use the social side of Diablo 4.<\/p> <h2><strong>How to play Diablo 4 couch co-op explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to play online for a multiplayer experience of Diablo 4, because playing couch co-op is also an option.<\/p>\n<p>To play through the game with a companion, head to the \u201cSocial\u201d tab on the menu. Once you\u2019ve logged into your Battlenet account, have your companion power on the second controller (you will, of course, need one for two-player) then press the button as prompted on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>Once your companion has logged into their Battlenet account, you\u2019re good to go!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to play Diablo 4 online co-op<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to play with a friend online (but don\u2019t fancy joining a clan), then you\u2019ll also need to go to the \u201cSocial\u201d tab on the menu. Once you\u2019re there, search for your friend on the Battlenet friends list.<\/p>\n<p>And in case you were wondering, Diablo 4 supports crossplay on all platforms, so that won\u2019t be an issue! You will need to <strong>enable crossplay<\/strong> though, so don\u2019t forget to do that.<\/p>\n<p>We should add that you don\u2019t need to join a clan to enjoy the multiplayer aspect of the game, but you can read about why you might consider a <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/diablo-4-clans-explained\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Diablo 4 clan here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We wish you the best of luck working through the planes of hell.
