Loot 3.0 is Diablo 4’s “Judgment Day” — Blizzard’s massive overhaul could redefine the whole game

Although players generally enjoyed Season 10, many see the next update as a critical turning point for Diablo 4. It includes major gameplay improvements that the community has asked for since the game launched. The big question is whether these changes will entice returning players, like myself, to start playing again. The update permanently alters key parts of the game, such as how items work, how monsters fight, and how you progress, and it also brings back leaderboards! Here’s a rundown of what we know about the upcoming Public Test Realm (PTR) for Season 11.

“It’s been a huge pain in the a–.” We spoke to New Blood Interactive about its big Xbox launch and how the Xbox Ally inspired the team to jump on board.

The Xbox Ally X is a high-end device at $1000, but the standard Xbox Ally is a more budget-friendly option, though it’s not as powerful. It offers similar performance to the Steam Deck, but a key issue is the lack of well-optimized games specifically for the Xbox platform on PC. This often means users end up relying on Steam for games, even when trying to use Xbox Play Anywhere’s cross-platform features.
