The Diablo® IV base game is the core game itself — Diablo® IV — and contains the main campaign, the shared open world of Sanctuary, the playable classes and progression systems, seasonal content, and end‑game activities. This base product is a separate purchase from expansion or edition add‑ons: the Vessel of Hatred expansion and Deluxe/Ultimate cosmetic bundles require ownership of the base game or are sold as Expansion Bundles that include it. See the official Blizzard support breakdown for edition contents. Blizzard support article and the official Steam store page list which packs include the base game versus expansion items.
In practice the base Diablo IV gives you the core playable experience — the story campaign, open‑world exploration (zones, world bosses, Helltides), dungeons, loot and crafting systems (including the Forge and Paragon progression), and online features like co‑op, PvP zones, cross‑play/cross‑progression and seasonal Battle Passes. Examples of what is not automatically included in the base game are cosmetic packs, pets, mounts, in‑game Platinum currency, and Reliquary tokens, which are bundled with Deluxe/Ultimate editions or sold separately. Steam product information provides a feature list and edition comparisons.
