Diablo Immortal cross-platform: is it cross-progression?
Yes, thankfully. Even though the PC version is currently in beta, Diablo Immortal offers full cross-progression across both platforms. This means that no matter where you are, you can always have your builds and resources available to you.
Blizzard is facilitating this service through the use of a Battle.net account. If you're on PC, this shouldn’t be an issue, as you need one to have access to Battle.net to boot the game. However, if you are starting on phone, it’s worth checking that you aren’t using a guest profile.
In a blog post about cross-platform features Blizzard says: “Alternatively, if you start playing Diablo Immortal on mobile, you may either sign in to your Battle.net account or you will be supplied a guest account. If you have a Battle.net account, then you will be able to seamlessly transfer in-between playing on either platform simply by logging into your Battle.net account.”

Diablo Immortal cross-platform: is it cross-play?
Diablo Immortal also supports cross-play between PC and mobile devices. This means that not only can players bring their own progression with them, they can play with their buddies no matter where they are too.
Blizzard said in their blog post about cross-platform features: “Cross-play and cross-progression features between mobile and PC will make allying with other brave adventurers a breeze regardless of platform. When the PC version leaves the Open Beta period, all the progress and purchases you’ve made will be maintained.”
This kind of freedom is a huge boon to Diablo Immortal. It allows everyone to tailor their experience as they wish and have their experience with as few disruptions as possible.
So, no matter if you are playing on your massive gaming rig at home and your pal is heading to work on the bus, you can play together. That’s a lovely level of freedom.
