Diablo IV Season Two Begins October 17th
October 17th is a big day for the DLSS 3-enhanced Diablo IV! At 10am PT, the Season of Blood, Diablo IV’s second season begins. Unlock and equip 22 vampiric abilities on any class or character, go on a new Season Journey, battle through new quests and season events, and tackle challenging Uber Endgame bosses that drop Unique items and Cosmetics that can be found nowhere else.
At the same time, update 1.2.0 goes live, featuring sweeping changes to Resistances, new Unique items, enhanced mount mechanics, balance changes, and so much more.
And finally, October 17th sees the launch of Diablo IV on Steam with full cross-play and cross-progression so you can play with your friends on any platform and you can continue your journey wherever you play cross-platform and store play. Gamers playing Diablo IV via Steam will have access to Steam achievements, their Steam friends list, and the option to invite those friends to play in-game.
Since launch, Diablo IV has included support for DLSS 3, helping GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers multiply performance at 4K by an average of 2.5X, enabling high frame rate gameplay for all:
On GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops, DLSS 3 improves performance by an average of 1.8X at 2560x1440, enabling all laptop GPUs to play Diablo IV at over 80 FPS with max settings enabled. At 1080p, DLSS 3 helps all laptop GPUs to run at over 120 FPS, with the power house GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU topping 280 FPS.
With such fast frame rates on many GPUs, you may want to supercharge image quality with NVIDIA DLAA, an AI-based anti-aliasing mode that utilizes the same technology developed for DLSS. DLAA uses a native resolution image to maximize image quality, rather than boosting performance, though in Diablo IV, DLAA can be combined with DLSS Frame Generation for the highest possible image quality, and excellent performance.
If you don’t own a GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU you can still enhance your Diablo IV gameplay with DLSS 2 Super Resolution or DLAA.
