Diablo 3 news » An Update on Account Linking for Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition

On April 26, the software that currently allows us to link Xbox Live and PlayStation Network accounts to our Battle.net service will be decommissioned. A small number of important changes will take place.

Support for transferring game saves from PlayStation 3 to Xbox One and from Xbox 360 to PlayStation 4 will no longer be available. Players who have already transferred these game saves will not lose them. Support will still be available for transferring saves from Xbox 360 to Xbox One and PlayStation 3 to PlayStation 4.

Furthermore, in-game items that were previously only available to players who linked their Xbox Live or PlayStation Network accounts to Battle.net will now be available to players without the need to link accounts. These items are now granted automatically, and will be available on April 26. The items affected, and their availability, are as follows:

• Signet Ring of the Blizzard: Available to all players of Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One
• Mercy Wings (Overwatch Promotional Item): Available to all players of Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

Players who already have these items will see no change to their experience.

Please note that these changes will only be active after a player has updated their game to patch 2.4.1 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One or patch 2.0.2a on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

See you in Sanctuary!
