It looks likeDiablo 4has gotten off to a refreshingly smooth early access launch period across most platforms. Well, unless you’re on PS5.
Some players are reporting that, despite having purchasedDiablo 4’sDeluxe or Ultimate editions,they’re struggling to get past the login phase for the four-day early access period. When attempting to log in, players are being met with an error message that reads: “Unable to find a valid license for Diablo IV (Code 315306).”
As it stands, this largely appears to be an issue with thePS5version of the game, though some users on theofficial forumsare detailing the same problem onXbox Series X. While not quite as horrendous as the infamously botchedDiablo 3launch in 2012, with its ‘Error 37’ preventing the vast majority of players from logging in, it’s nonetheless disheartening for PS5 players to be losing out on early access time.
The silver lining here is thatBlizzardis aware of the issue, andDiablo 4’sGlobal Community Development Director, Adam Fletcher, issued a statement on Twitter reassuring eager demon hunters that the developer is indeed looking into a fix.

According toForbes, it seems like the login issue isn’t exclusive toDiablo 4.Currently, it appears that several games across PlayStation Network are experiencing license errors. There’s a chance this could be caused by the sudden influx ofDiablo 4players filling PlayStation servers, or it may just be a more generalized issue onSony’s part.
Here’s hoping the issue is remedied fast, asDiablo 4is widely being recognized as the best Blizzard game in years. If you’re struggling to log into the game right now (or just can’t because, like me, youhave to work), consider reading up on theinfluences behindDiablo 4’sart direction, or how itstransmog system outclasses one of its biggest competitors.
