How to Transfer Diablo 3 Saves From PS3 & Xbox 360 to PS4 & Xbox One

The launch of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition is just a few weeks away, and many players intending to pick up the new version of the game may already be owners of Diablo III on the PS3 or Xbox 360.

With that in mind, Blizzard has prepared a guide that allows you to transfer your characters from a last-gen console to a new-gen console, including the ability to transfer your Xbox 360 saves to the PS4, and your PS3 saves to the Xbox One. Yes, it works across platforms.

PS3 to PS3, Xbox 360 to Xbox 360

If you will be playing Ultimate Evil Edition on the same console on which you are currently playing Diablo III, follow the steps below to transfer your data.

Step 1: Insert your Ultimate Evil Edition disc or launch the digital version of the game.

Success! The game will automatically check for a cloud save or local save on the system and load it, if one exists. (Note: If you are using online storage for PS3, please be sure to download your saved data first.)

PS3 to PS4, Xbox 360 to Xbox One

If you will be playing Ultimate Evil Edition on a different console (same brand, different generation), follow the steps below to transfer your data.

Exporting Your Save from Diablo III:

Step 1: Insert your original Diablo III disc or launch the digital version of the game.
Step 2: Download and install patch 1.0.3 for Diablo III.
Step 3: Log in to your Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) or Xbox Live (XBL) account.
