Is Diablo 4 Season 1 Premium Battle Pass Worth It?

Are you wondering if the Premium Battle Pass is worth it for Diablo IV? Let’s dive in and find out.

It has become a tradition in gaming over the years for a Battle Pass model to feature a free track and a paid Premium one. Diablo 4 is no different, with two tracks, and three versions of the Battle Pass for players to consider. While the free Battle Pass offers power upgrades like the others, there aren’t as many cosmetics as some players may like. So let’s see if the Premium pass is worth it or not in Diablo 4 Season 1.

Is It Worth Getting the Premium Battle Pass in Diablo 4?

One thing needs to be said immediately. The Premium Battle Pass doesn’t have any in-game power boosts over the Free version. The Smoldering Ashes that help you power up your characters are found only on Free tiers that everyone has access to.

One thing that the Premium Battle Pass has over the free version is the cosmetic rewards. These include transmog items such as the Coldiron Armor sets for every class, two mount options, as well as mount armor, and gravestones.

Ultimately, the question remains – is it worth buying the Premium Battle Pass? The answer depends on you and what you value in the game. Yes, the $10 Battle Pass is worth it, but only if you really want those cosmetics. If not, then you won’t lose out on anything by progressing the free track.

Another question that naturally crops up following this: is the Accelerated Battle Pass worth it? In our opinion, unless you’re very strapped for time, no, it’s not worth the extra price. At $25 for 20 tier acceleration and an extra emote, it’s hard to justify that price tag. Think of it this way – if you’re strapped for time to get those 20 tiers, would you honestly be able to complete the Battle Pass anyway?
