Diablo 4 Steam release coming in October with new season and QoL updates

Lots happening!

Diablo 4 Steam release will be available from 17 October, at the same time a new season and quality of life (QoL) updates are available on all platforms.

The next season is called Season of Blood and focuses on a vampire hunter named Erys, voiced by Gemma Chan. As you can expect, that means you’ll be fighting vampires.

Best yet, updates to the title mean that players in the season will gain XP and reach level 100 approximately 40% faster than they did within Season of the Malignant. Rejoice!

Activision Blizzard has also advised that “new players can now skip the campaign and jump into seasonal content immediately after finishing the prologue, so they can join their friends when the season launches.”

If you’ve been waiting to play Diablo 4 on Steam, you can head to this page to wishlist it ahead of its 17 October launch.

Diablo 4 is now on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5; we reviewed it here.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
