Diablo 4's in-game shop has raised eyebrows due to the high pricing of its cosmetics, which can only be purchased with premium in-game currency bought with real-world money. Some of the items, such as the Triune Apostate armour set, cost £20.99 / $24.99, while the Cryptic Hunter mount costs £6.39. Buying all the cosmetics available in the shop could cost hundreds of dollars or pounds. While some argue that this pricing is standard for the industry, others are concerned about the potential paywalling of the game's best-looking armour sets with the upcoming battle passes.
