Massive Diablo III 2.3 Update Live Now On PC And Current-Gen Consoles
Update: The console version of the patch is also live now. Happy hunting!
Diablo III has received a hefty new update on PC, prepping the field for Season 4 and offering new areas to explore and conquer. Players can venture to the Ruins of Sescheron to take on new enemies and find a new legendary treasure.
Kanai’s Cube is a new artisan that allows players to reforge legendary items, upgrade rare gear to legendary status, remove level requirements, and perform alchemical feats like changing gems from one type to another and altering crafting materials. You’ll get access to recipes as soon as you find the Cube.
When Season 4 kicks off, players will be able to track their progress using the new Season Journey feature. This will catalog objectives and achievements as well as showcase rewards.
New difficulty levels (Torment VII through X) have been added with their own paragon requirements. The update also includes a large body of tweaks to class skills, adjustments to monster abilities, the groundwork for Season 4 gear drops, and improvements to adventure mode.
You can check out the extensive rundown of changes on Blizzard’s website.

Our Take
I’m getting that old Diablo itch again, though I’d love to see seasons and other updates come to console. When Blizzard said that consoles would receive all the PC content last year, we had hope that Seasons would be along shortly. Hopefully, that’s still something that might be happening.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
