Diablo 4 has disappointed some players with the patch notes for Season 1. They don’t even want the associated Battle Pass as part of their Deluxe or Ultimate Edition.
On July 20 at 7 PM, Diablo 4 starts Season 1, but the patch notes for update 1.1 are already available. Some players are unhappy, express strong criticism of Season 1 and emphasize how disappointed they are with the upcoming update. However, they also share a tip.
What is this tip? If you purchased the digital Deluxe or Ultimate Edition of Diablo 4, you can redeem a Battle Pass “for free” once – the gifted pass is part of the larger editions.
However, if you are also disappointed with Season 1 and have no interest in the offered content, it should be up to you according to Reddit user “valut_nsfw” to activate the Battle Pass included in your edition at a later time (via Reddit).
Blizzard itself writes in a blog post from July 18:
If you have purchased the digital Deluxe or Ultimate Edition of Diablo IV and wish to redeem your Battle Pass for this season, navigate to the Seasons section in the shop and select the option to activate your Battle Pass.

What are players saying on Reddit about the tip? When exactly Season 2 will be released and what content it will deliver is still not known just before the release of Season 1, yet for many Diablo fans on Reddit, it is tempting to postpone their “Battle Pass” activation for later seasons:
- bushmaster2000: “Great! Maybe I’ll hold off on my [Battle Pass] for later.” – 144 Upvotes
- JonnyCakes13: “I’ve thought about it, but after seeing these patch notes, I won’t use it 100% right now.” – 66 Upvotes
- falcons4life: “Yes, I will pass until they decide to actually improve the state of the game rather than make it more painful.” – 76 Upvotes
- train_mechanic: “I stopped playing 3 weeks ago. Season 1 is not for me. I will definitely keep my Battle Pass until the game looks much more promising to me.” – 98 Upvotes
Some players even add that they will likely take a break from Diablo 4 during Season 1. Overall, the mood is rather negative.
If the patch notes for Season 1 did not disappoint you, you are probably interested in how you can level up effectively:
