"Confirmed" here means exactly what the row says: the platform has not been announced. It does not mean Diablo 5 won't come to it.
What has the team said?
In a group interview published on September 15, 2026, with Joe Shely, Jennifer Brandes Hepler and Matt Zitterman, the answer was blunt: "No specific platforms to announce right now." They added that they want as many people as possible to play Diablo V (PlayDay). Interview[T3] playday.one · verified Oct 6, 2026
That is a statement of intent, not an announcement. It names no systems and no timing.
Blizzard repeated it in writing to Kotaku on September 17: "We are not announcing platforms today," with details to come "when we are ready." On September 21 it added that a PC remark at the press event was an acknowledgement that PC and Battle.net are foundational to Blizzard, "not an announcement" (Kotaku).
