Diablo 4 Season 6: New Navigation Accessibility Features

Blizzard has revealed new work-in-progress accessibility features, and they want your feedback on them! These features are currently available to test in the Diablo 4 Season 5 PTR but are not expected to be released in the live version of the game until Season 6 and the new Vessel of Hatred expansion.

Accessibility features are created primarily to support players with disabilities; however, these features can and do support everyone who plays the game. For instance, highlighting your character in a certain color can help players easily track their character's position amidst on-screen spell effects, and customizable subtitles enhance the experience for players who either prefer or need visual cues. These features are designed to improve the gaming experience universally, making the game more enjoyable and accessible for all.

Auto-Pin Navigation Feature

This is a new feature that automatically drops a map pin on the destination of your selected quest or task from your in-game Journal. When a pin is dropped, your mini-map shows a route to follow to get to the chosen destination. This becomes the default when selecting quests, and further enables additional navigation features.

Audio Navigation Assistance Feature

With this feature enabled, the player receives spatial audio pings that direct the player towards their placed pin on the overworld map. This feature, in conjunction with auto-pin navigation, allows players to navigate through quest content while having their destination tracked through audio navigation. For best results, we recommend using headphones for the immersive sound. Players can adjust both the volume and the interval of the ping to find a level that meets their needs.

Compass Navigation Feature

The compass feature enables an on-screen HUD element that circles around the player and points towards their placed in-world pin. In combination with auto-pin, this provides consistent guidance to the player. Players can change the color of the arrow to match their particular needs and ensure it is clearly visible while slaughtering the denizens of hell.
