The Battle Pass (a.k.a. Season Pass) is a monetization feature of Diablo Immortal and Diablo IV.
Diablo Immortal[]
Battle Pass rotates once every 4 weeks. There is a free track and a premium track (called Empowered Battle Pass).
The Battle Pass can be leveled up by collecting Battle Points from various activities.
Rewards[]
Correct as of May 2024.
The total number of points to reach rank 40 is 6240, which can be achieved by earning an average of 222.86 points per day.
Diablo IV[]
The Season pass gives players greater rewards as they play more throughout the Season. It is divided between free tiers (unlocked just by playing the game and leveling), and premium tiers, which provide no in-game power or advantage over other players. The free tiers of the pass will provide gameplay boosts to all players—things which make the journey of leveling up a fresh seasonal character faster and more streamlined. In contrast, the premium tier rewards are focused on aesthetics, providing a huge value in the form of cosmetics and premium currency.[1] A third tier, accelerated, can be purchased, which allows players to skip 20 levels of the premium pass.[2]
Many of the rewards embody the seasonal theme, helping players show off their participation in that Season. At any point during the Season, players can purchase the premium pass to unlock the ability to earn premium rewards tiers containing seasonally themed cosmetics and premium currency.[1] The Season Pass is expected to cost $10 USD,[3] while the accelerated pass costs $25 USD. Regardless of the case, each Battle Pass has 90 levels of rewards.[2]
The Season Journey accelerates Season Pass progression. While any play style can progress through the Season Pass, min-maxers can focus on Season Journey objectives to advance more quickly.[1] It is expected to take 75 hours of playtime to complete each Battle Pass.[4]
Battle Pass progression is shared between platforms.[4]
Awards[]
- Cosmetics: Like the Shop, these don’t affect gameplay. Additionally, certain cosmetic types are exclusive to the Season Pass.
- Premium Currency: Players can spend this currency on cosmetics offered in the shop.
- Season Boosts: These accelerate players' progression for the duration of the Season. For example, a Season Boost might accelerate XP earned to make leveling multiple characters within a season faster. Because they affect gameplay, Season Boosts are free rewards for all players. Players can't unlock Season Boosts more quickly through purchases; there is no way to unlock more boosts, or boosts at a faster pace, by spending money.
- Tiers: These can be purchased, but don't speed up getting boosts. All other Tier rewards can be unlocked instantly by purchasing Tiers. In other words, there’s no way to shortcut getting Season Boosts by buying Tiers; they must be earned.[1]
