Diablo IV Hotfix Patch 2.5.3 Fixes Lunar Rewards and Missing Cosmetics


 Diablo IV has received a quick round of fixes.

A new hotfix tied to Patch 2.5.3 has rolled out, addressing issues with Lunar New Year reward caches and missing cosmetics that players reported after recent updates. While not a major content patch, the fixes target problems that have been frustrating players during the final stretch of Season 11.

The update is now live across all platforms.

Lunar Event Reward Issues Fixed

One of the biggest problems addressed involved Lunar New Year reward caches.

Some players reported that rewards from Lunar-themed caches were not properly granting items or were failing to appear in inventories. The latest hotfix resolves these issues and ensures that event rewards are correctly delivered.

For players still finishing seasonal content and events, this fix should restore confidence in event reward tracking and progression.

Missing Cosmetics Now Restored

Another major fix focuses on cosmetics that became inaccessible after being purchased or unlocked.

In some cases, players who bought or earned cosmetic items found them missing from their collections or unable to equip them. Patch 2.5.3 resolves this issue and restores affected cosmetics to player inventories.

This has been one of the more widely discussed problems in recent days, making the fix a welcome update for collectors and completionists.

Quiet but Important Stability Update

While this hotfix doesn’t introduce new gameplay systems or balance changes, it plays an important role in maintaining stability as the current season approaches its conclusion.

With Season 11 winding down and Season 12 approaching, ensuring that rewards, cosmetics, and progression systems work correctly is critical for a smooth seasonal transition.

Focus Shifts Toward Season 12

With the hotfix now live, attention is quickly shifting back toward upcoming seasonal content and the next phase of Diablo IV.

Players are continuing to prepare for Season 12 while keeping an eye on future updates and expansion-related announcements expected later this year.

For now, Patch 2.5.3 serves as a reminder that even smaller fixes can make a big difference — especially during the final days of an active season.
