Blizzard has confirmed that, in order to celebrate the release of patch 2.1.0 for Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition on consoles, it's bringing forth special bonuses to PS3 and Xbox 360 owners, as well as users of the PS4 and Xbox One for the whole week.

Diablo 3 launched back in 2012 for the PC and Mac and in 2013 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. A few months ago, the game finally made its way as part of the Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition package on the PS4 and Xbox One, as well as onto the PS3 and Xbox 360, as it included the massive Reaper of Souls expansion.

Blizzard promised at that time that all major patches released for the PC and Mac versions would appear on consoles, and earlier this week it brought forth update 2.1.0 to the Ultimate Evil Edition.

Now, in order to get people back into the dungeon crawling experience, Blizzard has confirmed on its forums that two special bonuses are offered to different console generation owners.

First up, for PS3 and Xbox 360 users, a special +100% bonus to experience is available, in addition to temporary bonuses offered by items in the game.

PS4 and Xbox One owners will gain a different bonus, this time relating to the spawn rate of treasure goblins. It's been doubled, so prepare to see way more of the loot-filled creatures in your levels.

The bonuses are already available and end on Friday, October 17, at 12:00am PDT.
