A console version for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}} was released on September 3rd, 2013. This was followed with UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 and UsefulNotes/{{Xbox One}} versions (including the Reaper of Souls expansion) in 2014, and a UseFulNotes/NintendoSwitch ''Eternal Collection'' version (with all the expansions, DLC, local wireless multiplayer, and exclusive content including a [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf costume and Cucco pet]]) in 2018. The console versions allow offline play, don't have any Battle.net functionality (instead using the console platforms' online services). It will have Toys/{{amiibo}} functionality, with a Loot Goblin amiibo planned for release on December 2018.

The game was given an ExpansionPack, ''[[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/reaper-of-souls/ Reaper of Souls]]'', in March 2014. It introduced a new act, a new class (the Crusader), a new level cap, powers and more, and answered one of the biggest lingering questions about the storyline, namely what happened to the missing angel Malthael. It also introduced a form of NewGamePlus called "Adventure Mode", where players can eschew replaying the story in exchange for having all the acts unlocked and hunting down bounties instead. The console version of ''Reaper of Souls'' was released as part of the Ultimate Evil Edition, which includes the original game, on August 19 2014 on UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}, UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, UsefulNotes/XboxOne and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4.

''Diablo III'' is the latest in the ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' series, released on May 15, 2012. The gameplay is essentially the same as previous entries, but with more AntiFrustrationFeatures (such as gold being picked up on touch rather than having to be clicked), and with new trading aspects, including an auction house that was eventually removed for causing more problems than it solved. It also brings back the Barbarian character class[[note]]but not the same Barbarian from ''VideoGame/DiabloII''[[/note]], and introduces four new classes: Monk, Witch Doctor, Wizard, and Demon Hunter.
