"Diablo IV: Steam Release, Season of Blood, and Faster Leveling in Season 2"

Diablo IV, the popular dungeon-romping sequel, will be available on Steam starting October 17, expanding its availability beyond Blizzard's Battle.net platform. This is good news for PC gamers, especially Steam Deck owners, as it simplifies the process of playing the game on the portable console. The Steam release coincides with the launch of a new DLC called Season of Blood, featuring a new questline, updated vampire powers, and the addition of actress Gemma Chan as a vampire hunter. A major patch, 1.2.0, will also be released on the same day, bringing various quality of life improvements. Blizzard's decision to bring Diablo IV to Steam follows the migration of other high-profile games, such as Overwatch 2, to the popular gaming platform.
