Blizzard confirmed to Polygon that the Nintendo Switch 2 port of Diablo 4 that we played at BlizzCon will support mouse controls.

The short version

  • While Diablo 5 is still on the far-off horizon, a Nintendo Switch 2 port of Diablo 4 is arriving much more imminently.
  • Titled the Diablo 4: Age of Hatred Collection , it bundles the base game with its expansions Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred for Nintendo's latest system.
  • Polygon went hands-on with the Switch 2 Diablo 4 port at BlizzCon 2026, and confirmed with Blizzard that the port will support Joy-Con 2 mouse controls at launch.

What happened

Mouse controls are one of the more unique but underutilized features of the Switch 2. If you place the flat end of a Joy-Con 2 controller down on a surface, you can use mouse cursor-like functionality in games like Fortnite , Metroid Prime 4 Beyond , and Sid Meier's Civilization 7 .

Why it matters

Considering the PC roots of Diablo as a franchise, mouse control support gives the Switch 2 port a unique feature that you can't find on the other console versions of the game.
