Cross Platform Character Transfers for Ultimate Evil and Some Gameplay Footage
by JR Cook - 10 years ago show comments
If you’ve been enjoying Diablo 3 on the console and were worried about losing your progress when switching to the Ultimate Evil Edition, fear no more. CM Lylirra just confirmed character transfers for the Ultimate Evil Edition, these transfers will allow you to keep your character even if you got the next generation console of the opposite brand that you previously had.
Check out the information straight from the source.
Just to confirm, in an upcoming console patch for PS3 and Xbox 360, we’ll be enabling what we’re calling “cross-brand” or “cross-generational” transfers for Ultimate Evil Edition. As the name suggests, these transfers will allow players to copy their character save data across brands and across platform generations.We’ll have more details to share once the patch is live, including how to complete a transfer with step-by-step instructions and how Battle.net account linking works. In the meantime, here’s a quick list of what’s supported:
- PS3 > Xbox One
- Xbox 360 > PS4
- PS3 > PS4
- Xbox 360 > Xbox One
The goal of cross-brand/cross-generational transfers is to support players who may have switched brands when next-gen systems were released for PlayStation and Xbox, but don’t want to leave their progress from original Diablo III behind when upgrading to Ultimate Evil Edition.
As a follow up to that, please note that the following cross-platform transfers will not be supported:
- Xbox 360 > PS3
- PS3 > Xbox 360
For same-platform upgrades to Ultimate Evil Edition (PS3 > PS3 and Xbox 360 > Xbox 360), your character save data will be automatically loaded once the game is installed. No additional steps needed!
You will still be unable to cross-platform any kind of data between consoles and PC though.
But that’s not all the news we have about Diablo’s console port. Youtuber ZiggyD got to visit the Blizz Headquarters in Australia and got to play around on the Ultimate Evil Edition, check out his gameplay video as he goes through his first impressions on the new features.
