How much Platinum does the Diablo 4 Season of the Malignant Battle Pass provide?

The Diablo 4 Season of the Malignant Battle Pass provides a total of 666 Platinum. While this is an intelligent nod to the devil’s number that complements the theme of the game, a majority of players are dissatisfied with the amount.

You can obtain free rewards from the Battle Pass as well, but Platinum can only be obtained if you buy the premium version of the Battle Pass. Players have discovered that the total amount of Platinum gained is insufficient to buy any items from the store.

Fans have been vocal about this discovery, and naturally, most of them are criticizing this move. This sentiment is based on the fact that many other live service titles usually provide a handsome amount of premium currency.

This isn't the case in Diablo 4, which has led to some players canceling their plans to buy anything from the store. Many fans have not logged into the game for a week due to the changes that were made in the previous patch.

While fans appreciated this hotfix, the fact that you cannot buy even the cheapest item from the store has still got many players concerned. Some even cited the example of Call of Duty Warzone, wherein they had enough currency left to make purchases in the next Battle Pass.

A small demographic of players feels that this approach does not suit a full-price AAA game like Diablo 4. This has even prevented some fans from delving into the new season as they prefer waiting for changes and fixes.
