Game Pass Subscribers Can Now Play Diablo 4 Season 4
Microsoft’s Game Pass subscribers are in for a treat as they can now enjoy playing Diablo 4 on the eve of its highly-anticipated season 4 update. This update, set to be released by Blizzard on May 14, is expected to bring about significant changes to the game.
While it may seem like jumping into season 3 right now would offer limited benefits, there are actually several things that players can take advantage of. The game’s campaign is definitely worth experiencing, and any progress made during season 3 will carry over into the next season.
The installation process for Game Pass players does require a Battle.net account and the use of the launcher. However, once this is set up, players can easily launch the game. It is important to note that this process differs slightly from that of Steam users.
Moreover, Game Pass players will also have the opportunity to install the season 4 PTR (Public Test Realm) next week. This will allow them to test out the massive changes coming to Diablo 4 in May and even explore the game’s two new crafting systems with boosted characters up to level 100. While progress on the PTR won’t carry over to the live game, it serves as a fantastic preview of what’s to come.
Immerse Yourself in the Campaign
If you’re new to Diablo 4, it’s highly recommended to take the time to play through the game’s captivating campaign. Set in the aftermath of the events in Diablo 3’s expansion, Reaper of Souls, the campaign presents a world in turmoil. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, and demons are once again wreaking havoc.
Diablo 4’s campaign may be filled with complex twists and turns, but it provides an excellent introduction to the game’s world and mechanics, giving players a taste of what awaits as they progress towards level 100. Additionally, embarking on this journey will prepare you for Diablo 4’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, set to launch later this year.
Earn Renown and Unlock Upgrades
As you play through the game, make sure to complete objectives in each region to earn renown. This will enable you to unlock essential upgrades for your character, such as additional skill points. Maxing out your renown before season 4 begins will greatly facilitate leveling up a new character.
Season 4 and the Eternal Realm
While season 3 is still ongoing, it provides players with the opportunity to acquire a powerful spider pet. To fully enjoy this feature, it is recommended to play on the seasonal realm initially. When season 3 concludes and transitions into season 4 on May 14, all characters and items will move over to the eternal realm permanently.
It is important to note that season 4 will bring about significant changes to the game. Therefore, players should avoid becoming too attached to a particular build, as a lot is expected to change. If you find yourself needing a break, you can always explore Control on Game Pass, offering a different gaming experience filled with demonic encounters in a non-Euclidean building.
