Blizzard has addressed a significant bug in Diablo 4 related to the new paid expansion, Vessel of Hatred, that was causing console players to lose access despite having purchased it. This issue arose shortly after the expansion's launch, which was delayed due to other bugs. Players faced frustrating license validation problems preventing them from accessing the expansion. Blizzard responded by deploying hotfix 2.0.2 to resolve the issue on consoles and also improve performance and stability. While the bug primarily affected console users, some Steam players still faced access issues, requiring them to contact Blizzard Customer Service for help. With the new Spiritborn class being noted as powerful, players are encouraged to build strong characters for the best gameplay experience in the expansion.

The bug caused many console players to be flagged as not owning the Vessel of Hatred expansion, even though they had purchased it. Blizzard has since released a hotfix to rectify this issue and improve overall game performance.

Diablo IV, launched in 2023, continues the franchise's legacy of dark fantasy action RPGs. With its extensive multiplayer features, seasons, and expansions, the game aims to deepen player engagement with continuous updates and content, such as the newly introduced Spiritborn class in the Vessel of Hatred expansion. This class is currently the most powerful in the game, attracting players looking to optimize their experience and dominate the newly added challenges.
