Here’s how you shift your Xbox 360 Diablo 3 save game to PS4

Right now, somebody at Blizzard is being measured to see if they weigh the same as a duck, because the idea of keeping your Diablo 3 save game and choosing your console platform sounds like witchcraft to me. We already know that save-game porting will be one of the new features present for Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition. So how in the nine hells do you do it exactly?

With cloud power, that’s how. Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition will automatically check your console for a save game should you be sticking to the same platform that you played Diablo 3 on. But if you’re venturing into Sanctuary on a higher level of graphical fidelity through the use of new-gen consoles, then this next bit might interest you.

According to Blizzard, you’ll need to upload your save-game on your Xbox 360 to the cloud (THE CLOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD), insert the new game on into the newer console and hey presto, you’ll get a prompt that asks if you want to download your original save game onto that platform. This works for PlayStation 3 to Xbox One as well.

PC Gamers however, are naturally buggered and have no such option.

Blizzard is referring to this process as a “cross-brand” and “cross-generational” transfer. I’m referring to it as sorcery. Possibly level 37, using the staff of the Aesir which offers a +5 bonus to teleportation. I’ve got several Diablo 3 characters that I’m actually keen to not get rid of when I switch from Xbox 360 to PS4 for this game. Including my kickass , Magic Feet McGee.

Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition arrives on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 19.

  1. That would be funny though. PC gamers transferring their saved games to console. I can’t think of any one admitting to doing that.

    I moved from Xbox 360 to PS3 with Fifa 14 and I just went on with my level in tact!! I know it is not the same as a save file, but I found it quite cool non the less…. Seeing as I am now level 89 in Fifa I would not have liked to have started back at 1!!!

    Would have been cool if I could transfer my PC diablo char to console, but don’t mind starting from scratch on the console, different experience. Did not buy the expansion on PC was waiting for the PS4 release
