Diablo 4 Best Settings for PC and Consoles

Regardless if you’re playing Diablo 4 on PC or consoles, you can load the game, stick with the default configuration and just start your adventure to hell that way, some might want to get the best optimal experience and that's where we come in. Read on for the Diablo 4 best settings guide for PC and consoles.

Obviously, with all the different PC configurations out there, not everything listed here will offer the ideal experience. However, we do try to work our way down with settings, testing t see what works on our machines with different CPUs and graphic cards. So for the first configuration, we will look at an RTX 4090 GPU with an AMD 7900x CPU running at ultra.

Diablo 4 can be pretty demanding once you start cranking up all the settings, and while I did, for the most part, get smooth FPS with everything set to max, there were some options I decided to change around to eliminate some of the jittering and dips.

So here's how I’m running Diablo 4 with this configuration:

Screen

Performance

Quality

Now we are getting into the more customizable options. With an RTX 4090, you can run pretty much everything at max settings here. However, I do think some things are overkilled, and in the case of Diablo 4, I think performance is the better way to go, so some options can be turned down for a few extra frames.

Any other configurations can work down from these settings, though for 3080 and 3090 cards, you should be able to run almost everything at max with a recommended 60FPS-capped framerate. AMD cards should see similar results when compared to their NVidia counterparts.

For consoles, there's not much tweakable options that we recommend changing. Optimization across all platforms, last and current-gen, seems well handled in this case, so players should expect a smooth experience with the default presets. We suggest playing around with the sharpened image slider, as it can improve overall image quality. We found around 50 to be a good setting on our PlayStation.

Best Social Settings (PC and Consoles)

There are some non-graphical and performance options I recommend, depending on whether you are a solo or party type of player. If you want to experience Diablo 4 as a "solo" player, head on over to the social tab and turn off all notifications.

We also recommend turning the quest dialogue in chat off, as we found it to be more of a distraction on the screen. Though understandable if you want to recall back some dialogue.

Under chat settings, turn "join Local Chat Channel" off. For chat bubbles, deselect everything.

There's no way to play privately, but you can ignore many online-specific social things with these options.

For those who do prefer playing in a party or with friends, we highly suggest turning on the "Enable Quick Join" option at the very bottom; that way, friends can join you freely without getting an invite. Everything else can remain default.

You can also keep all the other settings found in gameplay, sound, and controls at default.

If you’re still on the fence about Diablo 4, head on here for our review where we state, "Do yourself a favor: ditch your reservations and step into Sanctuary as soon as you can. It's likely going to be literal hell during the launch queues, but you’ll have a beautifully grim and visceral adventure ahead, one where every leveling up sound will feel like music to your ears."
