Diablo 4 is Blizzard’s fastest-selling game, but one customer can’t play it.
That customer is Oscar-winning Ghost actress Whoopi Goldberg, who said she bought the action role-playing game thinking she could play it on her Mac like its predecessors. Diablo 4, unfortunately for Goldberg, is only available for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
In a video posted to her Instagram account, first reported by Entertainment Weekly, Goldberg pleaded with Blizzard to release Diablo 4 on Mac.
“This is what I’m asking you, Blizzard,” Goldberg said. “This is Whoopi. You know how much I love Diablo. I would like y’all to let those of us who use our Apples to play… allow us to play on the Apple. Take Diablo 4 and let us do it and have a great time.”
Then: “Give me my [Diablo] 4, because I paid for it, I was all excited for it, I went to play on it, and I’m telling you, this really pissed me off.”
Clearly, Goldberg failed to read the list of supported platforms before handing over her hard-earned cash.
Diablo 4 is a smash hit and has gone down well with critics and players, despite concerns over the price of its microtransactions. And it’s enjoyed a relatively smooth launch, too. We can now add the lack of a Mac version to the list of complaints — this one from a particularly famous fan.
A clearly perplexed Diablo development chief Rod Fergusson Tweeted to address Goldberg’s complaint: “I did not have ‘Whoopi Goldberg yelling at me on Instagram’ on my #DiabloIV launch bingo card.”
I did not have “Whoopi Goldberg yelling at me on Instagram” on my #DiabloIV launch bingo card.

If Goldberg is desperate to play Diablo 4 on Mac, she may be interested in Apple’s new Game Porting Toolkit, which aims to streamline the process of porting Windows games onto Mac computers. Redditor just-reload_it uploaded a video of Diablo 4 running on a Mac with the M2 Max chip and using MacOS Sonoma (aka MacOS 14) plus the Game Porting Toolkit.
