PlayStation 5 users were furious upon finding Diablo 4 unplayable at launch night – they even held protest rallies claiming Diablo 4 to be unusable on launch night itself!
Diablo IV fans hoping for an uninterrupted launch were left dismayed last night when PS5 users reported a glitch that prevented them from accessing the game.
On booting up their PlayStation5s to access Blizzard games like Diablo IV (Code 315306), many PlayStation5 players have encountered an “Unable to find a valid license” message which suggests they do not own their copy and thus can’t play it despite spending hard-earned cash for this purchase. Needless to say this situation can be highly irritating since PlayStation players spent their hard-earned cash purchasing a product which won’t allow them to enjoy playing it!
Reports indicate that some Xbox players have received similar warning messages; however, most can access and play their game normally; PlayStation 5 owners seem particularly affected; not quite what many PlayStation fans had in mind when purchasing their consoles.
Blizzard responded to reports regarding PlayStation users experiencing Invalid License errors by issuing this statement: “We are aware of reports regarding PlayStation users experiencing Invalid License errors and our team is investigating right now – once more information becomes available we will share.” Additionally, Twitter threads have also been launched in order to gather details and share updates when solutions have been discovered; at time of writing however players were still experiencing problems; Blizzard posted an update saying they have “done some work to help mitigate” but haven’t quite overcome them yet
As of right now, affected PlayStation fans simply must wait patiently until an appropriate patch update or solution can be implemented. Ironically enough, Diablo III also experienced an unfortunate launch day failure wherein nobody could play upon boot up; players received the error message “The servers are busy at this time – Please try back later (Error 37). Although eventually addressed and resolved as was with Diablo IV; nevertheless it provided for an awkward start for what has long been controversial franchise installment.
Diablo IV appears to be following in its predecessor’s footsteps with respect to user scores; which may change should glitches and bugs arise that lower its rating further. Critics’ reviews currently praise Diablo as one of the highest rated games this year but that could quickly change given user frustration levels may begin rising once negative user scores come pouring in from frustrated players.
