The Ultimate Guide to Diablo 4 Battle Pass - Everything You Need to Know!

With millions of players already immersed in the world of Sanctuary during the early release window, it's no surprise that there is a growing demand for more Diablo 4 content. As a live-service title, the inclusion of a Battle Pass and seasons was expected, and Blizzard has provided some specifics about what players can expect from the game's first Battle Pass. However, the exact release date remains uncertain, with only a vague timeframe of "mid to late July" given by the developer. The Battle Pass will be released alongside the game's first season, offering both new and returning players an abundance of content to explore. It's worth noting that completion of the main campaign is required before engaging in any Battle Pass content, so players have ample time to do so before the release.

What's Included in the Diablo 4 Battle Pass

Players can expect to have access to a total of 90 reward tiers in the Diablo 4 Battle Pass, with 63 of them being exclusively available through purchasing one of the paid Battle Pass options, as per pre-release footage shared by Blizzard. There are three different options for players to choose from, with one being free and the other two being paid. It is worth noting that the two premium Battle Pass options come with rewards in the form of Diablo 4's in-game currency Platinum, which can be utilized towards future Battle Pass purchases.

Players who have been enjoying early access to Diablo 4 since June 1 can take advantage of the first Premium Battle Pass, which comes at no additional cost. While the free Battle Pass tier offers access to 27 out of 90 rewards, the Premium and Accelerated Battle Passes provide access to all potential rewards. Choosing the Accelerated tier grants players immediate access to 20 rewards upon purchase. Regardless of the chosen tier, rewards include cosmetics and the seasonal currency Smoldering Ashes. The Accelerated tier also offers a special seasonal cosmetic that refreshes each season. However, some of the most coveted cosmetics are only available through the paid Diablo 4 Battle Pass levels. Beyond weapon and armor skins, players can expect character customization options, Platinum currency for in-game use, new emotes, and the Smoldering Ashes seasonal currency as rewards.

Players can use the seasonal currency to acquire "season blessings" that provide passive buffs to their characters, increasing their gold, EXP, and Obol earnings. These buffs will prove to be crucial for players who wish to tackle Diablo 4's Nightmare Dungeons or acquire items from the Purveyor of Curiosities in hopes of receiving a sought-after Legendary drop. Investing in the Battle Pass appears to be a wise choice for those seeking to maximize their character's progression in Diablo 4's endgame content. Diablo 4 is currently available in early access, with its full launch scheduled for June 6 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
