For PS4 and Xbox One players of Diablo 3, we provide a guide to the Seasons on console, covering start, content, and leaderboards.
Soon console players can finally participate in the Seasons of Diablo 3. But what are Seasons really? How do you participate? What content is available? When does the Season end on PS4 and Xbox One? We answer the most important questions on these topics.
Start time for Season 10 on PS4 and Xbox One – time and date
The 10th Season starts for consoles on April 1st (no joke) at 02:00 (DST). You will play the same season as PC and Mac players.
What are Seasons?
A Season in Diablo 3 is active for approximately three months. During this time, you can create special characters participating in the season. The character starts from scratch, has no gold, and begins at level 1. The progress of seasonal characters is initially shared only with other seasonal characters.
Only at the end of a Season are they converted to non-seasonal characters and share their equipment, gold collections, and progress with your other characters.
If you want to start over with friends and collect all equipment again, a Season is a great option.
Create a seasonal character
To create a seasonal character, you must be logged into PlayStation Network or Xbox Live. Then, activate “Seasonal Hero” – this option is always available during a season. Now select your class and off you go!
If you do not want to create a new character for the season, you can choose the Reincarnation option on an existing character. This character will be transformed into a seasonal character and set to level 1. All equipment, Paragon points, properties from Kanai’s Cube, gold, and so on will only be available at the end of the season.
The Seasonal Journey on PS4 and Xbox One
The seasonal journey refers to a combination of various challenges that are only available to seasonal heroes. Complete various milestone objectives of the seasonal journey to receive exclusive cosmetic rewards. You can display your progress in the seasonal journey at any time by pressing left on the D-pad or accessing the corresponding function in the menu.
Haedrig’s Gift
Through the mentioned seasonal journey, you also benefit from Haedrig’s Gift. This reward is granted for reaching stages 2, 3, and 4 of the seasonal journey. Each gift contains parts for your class set.
If you complete the three stages of the seasonal journey, you will have a complete set for your class in hand. However, there is only one complete set per season, so you should carefully consider which hero you will open the gifts with.
With each new season, the class sets rotate and new gifts are available. In Season 10, you can expect the following sets:
- Barbarian – The Legacy of Raekor
- Crusader – Akkhan’s Armor
- Demon Hunter – Marauder’s Gear
- Monk – Inna’s Mantra
- Witch Doctor – Zunimassa’s Trickery
- Wizard – Delseres Magnum Opus
Season Achievements
Challenges make playing Diablo 3 more interesting, as there are tough objectives for you to pursue and hopefully complete. The season-specific achievements are difficult tasks that can only be completed by seasonal heroes.
You need to fulfill a few tasks to complete the stages of the seasonal journey. In addition, you earn challenge points for your seasonal overall score.
Season Leaderboards for PS4 and Xbox One
By completing achievements or Greater Nephalem Rifts, you increase your total score. You can compare your gameplay progress with your friends or other players around the world. You can access this leaderboard through the corresponding menu item or in the main menu.
The End of a Season on Console
At the end of a season, you retain all the gathered rewards, which will be transferred to non-seasonal characters. This includes:
- Equipment
- Gold
- Completed Challenges
- Unlocked properties in Kanai’s Cube
- Learned Recipes
- Experience Points
You have 30 days after a season to collect the transferred items from the mailbox in any city.
