Diablo was designed to D2R Items run on PC at the time it was released in 2000. However, it was released for consoles in the year 2000. Diablo: Resurrected, the action-RPG classic will be available on consoles, for the very first time. It turns out that Blizzard needed to put an enormous amount of effort into the game to ensure that the console experience lived up to its famed status without altering the basic design that the game is built on.

In a blog post exploring how the Diablo: Resurrected group considered how to adapt the game for consoles the design director Robert Gallerani explained how decisions taken regarding the game's playability on consoles was a deliberate effort to concentrate "on an entirely different audience than the PC game's audience." Because many console gamers have more experience playing Diablo on consoles, Diablo, Blizzard needed to create Diablo similar to the console version.

One way Diablo: Resurrected on consoles accomplishes this is by taking an inspiration from Diablo's game regarding how it handles mapping and displaying capabilities.

"In the first Diablo game, players had two buttons: right and left mouse clicks," Gallerini writes. "To gain access to a variety of various abilities, players utilize hotkeys to quickly remap the two mouse buttons. When using the controller, this was modified to not remap instead, having buttons that activate the abilities. Then, we display these capabilities similarly to Diablo and in an area on the lower portion on the lower part of the HUD."

In terms of moving, Diablo on consoles controls different than its cheap diablo 2 resurrected items PC counterpart. On PC players click an area and the game guides the character of the player to the location. However, on consoles, Blizzard wanted players to be able to direct their character's movements using the thumbstick.
