==Ultimate Evil Edition FAQs==
Blizzard's [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/console/ official UUE UEE page] has almost no information about the game features and nothing about the ways it differs from the PC version of Reaper of Souls. While that page is not very useful, Blizzard's CMs have answered numerous fan questions, and the devs have shared info in several interviews, but it's largely been on fans to assemble the details. This article is the best compilation of the details.

'''Do characters and stash carry over from the Diablo 3 console to the UUEUEE?'''<br>
Yes, all characters and stash contents transfer over, as do Paragon levels.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blizzard-tracker/devthread/us/13087128909]
'''Can UUE UEE characters or accounts mix with Battle.net PC/Mac characters?'''<br>No. UUE UEE characters can not mix with Battle.net characters or accounts. This is the same as the original Diablo 3 console; the characters are stored separately from the PC characters on Battle.net and the games are entirely separate and incompatible.
'''Will Blizzard patch and update the UUE UEE over time, as RoS for the PC/Mac is patched?'''<br>Unknown. Blizzard has said they will provide as much content in patches as they can, but they have not committed to keep the UUEUEE, for any platform, patched up equivalently to the PC/Mac version.

'''Are there Clans and Communities on the UUEUEE?'''<br>No, since these features are run on Battle.net and the Diablo 3 console and UUE UEE play on the Xbox and PSN online services. Those services offer Friends lists and other social features, though.
==Official UUE UEE Announcement==
Blizzard announced the Ultimate Evil Edition with a blog post in late 2013, and first showed the product off at Blizzcon 2013. It was only confirmed for the PS4 initially, with the other consoles added in later. [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/11502590]
