Blizzard Cloud Saves

CLOUD — Snow accumulations of 6-8 inches with wind gusts as high as 55 mph will create blizzard conditions in Central Minnesota, according to the National Weather Service. The EULA forbids us from playing the game over geforceNOw and other cloud services. I can run wow fine but I would like the option to run the game over the cloud to save space. I'm arguing that this rule imposed on us is unfair because when you play over the cloud you are renting a gaming rig to play on. Ah ok my bad then I understood this wrong.

This is a question people are often asking, especially now thatDiablo 3 is playable on so many platforms — Windows and Mac, Playstation 3 and 4, Xbox 360 and One, and the Nintendo Switch as well. If you've been playing Diablo 3 at home on your PC, how can you move your character over to the Switch and start playing them there? The short answer is you can't — and there's no plan currently to allow you to move characters between PC and any console version of the game or vice-versa.

Blizzard Cloud Saves App

Cloud saves keep your replays a click away on any computer. Access an overview or rewatch the action! The Seasons tab helps you stay on top of your rank, view past standings, and reminisce about your greatest achievements. Blizzard is actively banning people playing on cloud gaming services. Started with LiquidSky, but now they have blocked Parsec Gaming too. June 1st there was a EULA change making cloud gaming against their rules. Be careful, and don't play Blizzard games on cloud machines. I personally got banned for using Parsec, and many others are reporting.

The slightly more complicated answer is maybe someday. Blizzard has, in the past, allowed people to move their Diablo 3 characters from previous generation consoles to current generation consoles when they came out — players could move characters from PS3 to PS4, Xbox 360 to Xbox One, and even fr0m Xbox 360 to PS4 and PS3 to Xbox One.

However, Blizzard hasn't done that in a few years, and they've never allowed PC players to port their character to consoles — you cannot, for example, move your Xbox One Barbarian or Demon Hunter to PC. You could never move console to PC or PC to console even when Blizzard was letting people move between consoles.

Also, while you can't move any current console characters to any other consoles, you can use the Nintendo Switch's cloud save feature to load your Diablo 3 Switch characters onto a different Switch so you can do local play on a single console together. It's a handy feature… but it still doesn't let you swap platforms.

So if you have a lot of time and Paragon levels on your PC main, I'm sad to tell you that you'll be starting from scratch when you pick up that Switch and get Diablo 3 Eternal Collection for it.
