Diablo 4 is bringing a Halloween special Season of Blood this October 17, but this isn’t the only reason to celebrate the day. The release of ‘Season of Blood’ coincides with the arrival of Diablo 4 on Steam Deck. While the buzz around the upcoming season has been dominating the RPG fans for some time, the latest update on the title’s Steam arrival has left the fans thrilled. An official approval by the Valve platform has been provided hinting at an ultimate RPG experience on Deck! 

Blizzard’s masterpiece stands firmly as one of the most celebrated games in recent years. Moreover, the game is credited for setting new standards in open-world RPGs. Fortunately, gaming fans looking forward to its arrival on Steam Deck will be experiencing the Dungeon world in the finest quality. Here’s what the approval means for Diablo 4’s Steam launch. 

Blizzard’s Global Community Developer Director Assures Diablo 4 Quality on Steam 

The skepticism around Diablo 4’s arrival on Steam has been bursted by a viral tweet. Adam Fletcher, the Community Developer Director of Blizzard Entertainment informed the Dungeon-inspired RPG fans about Diablo receiving the Steam verification just before its arrival on Deck. The latter wrote, “We can happily say that Diablo IV will be Steam Deck Verified starting next Tuesday with the launch of the game on Steam and the start of Season of Blood.”

For those who aren’t aware, the verification tag for Valve’s Steam is an assurance of the title’s performance on the console platform. A title with a verified Steam tick implies smooth, compatible gameplay on the platform as compared to the other adapted versions. In simple terms, this newly unlocked achievement for Diablo’s fourth installment means an ideal gaming experience!

Previously, Blizzard’s Battle.net store was the only place to purchase Diablo 4 on Windows PCs. The Diablo 4 version on Steam will allow for cross-progression and cross-platform play with the game’s current Battle.net, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X versions. A Battle.net account is necessary to access the Diablo 4 Steam edition, just like Overwatch 2. Diablo 4’s Steam release will support the platform’s friends lists, achievements, and other features.

What to expect from the ‘Season of Blood’? 

October 17 as mentioned above also marks the launch of an all-new season of the open world. The forthcoming season will be bringing the ‘vampire’ horror into the gameplay. Also, there are a lot of promising innovations to arrive with the season’s launch. 

Among every interesting pitch that devs make in the season of blood, Elemental Resistance has been the center of the gaming spotlight. This particular feature will play a significant role in your character’s survivability in the new season. The puzzles revolving around the resistance puzzles would also be much more evolved than in the Season of the Malignant. The base cap for the resistance would be 70%. However, the Rings and Amulets would still have 2 inherent stats. 

This October 17 would be a special day for Diablo 4 fans all across the globe indeed!
