On the Xbox 360 version, each profile that is playing together can unlock achievements.Īs an additional point of clarification, PS3 players that visit a friend's house for some local co-op action will be able to access their own characters from either a save on a USB stick, or by accessing their characters from cloud saves (if they have PlayStation Plus). If they log in on a guest profile, they will need to create a new hero and when they quit out of the game, their hero will not be saved. If additional Xbox 360 players log in on a guest profiles, they cannot load their own heroes from save files. It's important to note that only Gold Tier members can play online with other players over Xbox LIVE, however, Silver and Gold Tier members can play locally and recover profiles. If the player is an Xbox LIVE Gold Tier member and they choose to use Cloud Saving from Microsoft, they can also recover both their profile and their save at their friend’s house.

They can also bring their profile and Diablo III save on a memory unit or memory stick and load it at their friend’s house, or alternatively, they can bring their save file and recover their profile from Xbox LIVE (both Silver and Gold tier accounts can do this). On the Xbox 360, if additional players logs in on other profiles, they are able to load their own heroes from their own save files. On the PlayStation 3, additional players will have access to any saves that any User on the system has however, only the primary User can unlock trophies during single-system co-op. How guests can play with you on same screen co-op varies between the console systems.

Q: On the guest profile that plays along will it use the main profiles characters or will the guest have to make their own?
