Update 1.1.0 is now available for all Diablo IV players on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. While it fixes a number of issues, it also implements changes to the way you purchase the Premium Battle Pass.

Following the launch of Diablo IV: Season of the Malignant, Blizzard came under fire from players for the way Premium Battle Pass purchases were handled. Prior to this update, heading to the Season tab in-game would automatically place the cursor over the purchase button, Activate Battle Pass. By clicking it once, you'd purchase the Premium Battle Pass without any need to confirm your purchase or cancel it.

The patch notes for Update 1.1.0c reveal that the default cursor position will now be placed on the Season Journey button, and most importantly, adds a confirmation pop-up to Premium Battle Pass purchases.

Diablo IV Update 1.1.0c patch notes

  • Fixed an issue where several Focus off-hand items could only have an aspect imprinted on them once.
  • Fixed an issue where combining the Dark Dance and Punishing Speed Malignant Powers could cause the player to stun themselves.
  • Fixed an issue where the Grim Reward Season Journey objective could be repeated by dropping and picking up the same stash.
  • Fixed an issue where the Werebear and Werewolf fur color was too bright in certain situations.
  • Fixed an issue where movement on specific controllers was often not functioning correctly.
  • Updated the activation of the Premium Battle Pass with a confirmation pop-up.
  • The default focus (the button the controller will first highlight) on the Battle Pass screen is now the Season Journey button.
  • Fixed multiple instances where players were encountering crashes.
  • Further stability improvements.
  • Fixed an interaction with the Agitated Winds Malignant Heart power which led to automatic Cyclone Armor casts to ignore its own cooldown.
  • Acquiring or re-allocating Seasonal Blessings will now clear the vendor buyback inventory.
Blizzard recently acknowledged the controversial patch, which nerfed many aspects of Diablo IV, and claimed it would not release a patch like that "ever again."
