The first client-side patch for Diablo 4’s Season of Slaughter is now live on all platforms, and this brings the game to build 2.6.1, which is the number players will see on the start screen once the patch has been applied.

For those on consoles, you’ll see this download appear as Diablo 4 update 2.03/1.1.03 (complete version 1.103.000), and this brings a slew of bug fixes to the new season.

To find out everything that got changed or fixed, read on for the patch notes.

Diablo 4 First Season of Slaughter Update for Fixes Live on March 24

Game Updates

  • Reduced the difficulty of Bloodsoaked sigils significantly.

Developer’s Note: We’ve received feedback that many players cannot reasonably complete Bloodsoakeded Sigils after unlocking them. By lowering the difficulty significantly, we hope to guarantee that all players who have earned access to Bloodsoaked content have a better chance of success.

  • A stash and blacksmith have been added to Kael Rills’ Butcher shop to allow players to Salvage and store items without having to travel back and forth in Gea Kul.
  • Instances of the Butcher in the Fields of Hatred now have significantly more health.
