On July 21, 2023, the authors of Diablo IV held a broadcast, where they explained why they released patch 1.1.0, which was massively criticized by the players. Among other things, the developers reported that with the launch of update 1.1.1, an additional free stash tab will appear in the game, but so far only one.

After the broadcast, fans of Diablo IV began to ask the developers why such a restriction. Some time later, Assistant Game Director Joseph Pipora explainedwhy his team hasn’t been able to add more tabs yet. It turned out that the whole thing is a technical limitation associated with the fact that the game client downloads information about all the items in the cache of the characters nearby.
When we say that tabs are “expensive”, we mean that they require a lot of additional memory. The fact is that when you see another character in the game, you load not only him, but his entire cache, with all the items that are in it. Our developers are now hard at work to add more tabs to the game as soon as possible.

Thus, Pipora confirmed that the lack of a large number of tabs in the Diablo IV stash is due to their impact on performance. It’s unclear when developers will be able to add more chest sections.
Fans of Diablo IV reacted differently to this news. One of the players wrote on the Blizzard forum that “the meme about a small indie company has become a reality.” At the same time, the player noted that he thinks so without a share of sarcasm, since, in his opinion, there are fewer and fewer talented developers left in Blizzard. In the discussion, some forum users also recalled that, according to The Washington Post investigation, there were many problems and staff turnover during the development of Diablo IV.
Earlier, the authors of Diablo IV stated that they would no longer release patches that would massively weaken characters and slow down progress.

The developers heard the players “loud and clear”.
