BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
There will be a number of minor updates made to the magic items from the 2014 Dungeon Master's Guide. Any magic item that did not receive any text update, or received minor text updates (specifically in terms of capitalization and/or minor text/grammar changes). If there was any mechanical updates made to a Magic Item, we've created a brand new version of it for the 2024 rules. Here's an example, using the Gauntlet of Ogre Power:
2014 - Gauntlets of Ogre Power
Then if we compare it to the 2024 version:
2024 - Gauntlets of Ogre Power
There's virtually no difference between the effects of either one, so it won't receive its own distinct 2024 version (meaning the 2014 version will be updated). Let's take a look at another example:
2014 - Keoghtom’s Ointment
2024 - Keoghtom’s Ointment
Given that the 2024 version of the item makes reference to the Utilize, we've created the 2024 version of it as a new Magic Item and have labeled the 2014 version as Legacy.
FREE RULES UPDATE
As part of the Early Access release of the Dungeon Master's Guide, we’ve also updated the 2024 Free Rules with it! You can access it via the Free Rules' Table of Contents.
Scions of Elemental Evil
To celebrate the release of the Dungeon Master's Guide you can claim Scions of Elemental Evil, a single-session adventure that spotlights the world of Greyhawk and is compatible with the 2024 Core Rulebooks.
SUPERNATURAL GIFTS (CHARMS/BLESSINGS)
Supernatural Gifts (Charms and Blessings) are not currently supported on DDB.
BASTIONS
Bastions and all the various actions/tracking you can do with them are not currently supported in the Character Sheet or in the Maps tool.
LORE GLOSSARY
The Lore Glossary is a new addition to the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide, as it provides helpful explanations of many iconic people and locations found throughout the D&D multiverse. For ease of use, we’ve created a new tooltip to help facilitate those explanations without leaving the page you're reading - the [lore] tooltip. A guide to all the available [lore] tooltips will be coming soon.
Artificer Infusion: Replicate Magic Item, is missing 'Wand of secrets' and 'Rope of climbing' from 'Replicate Magic Item' list.
They are available using Legacy 2014 rules, but both items are still present in 2024DMG and should be visible in the drop down without fallback to Legacy rules!
Enspelled Weapon description in magic item database has the description of Enspelled Staff. If you look at Enspelled Weapon in the source book it has correct description.
The new versions of Weapons of Warning do not appear in the Character Sheet inventory options. The legacy versions appear if Legacy Content is enabled, but the new versions still do not appear.
Many updated items do not appear as options on my character sheet. Are we going to need to wait 2 weeks (or more) for this? Is so, that's a bunch of baloney for DM-tier paying subscribers.
Is there any plan to add Custom Backgrounds from the new book to the DND Beyond character creator? i don't thin there is any way to create a 2024 background at the moment (even in homebrew) that is also allowing you to choose an ability.
Pretty minor, but Javelin of Lightning and vicious weapon lost their art (there may be more, but these are the ones I noticed), and a few entries have broken code, like the gem of elemental summoning.
Edit, actually quite a FEW did, including Eyes of the Eagle as well
The 2014 version of Wand of Magic Missiles is not appearing to add to character sheets or in the Magic Items (Even searching only by the 2014 DMG I get the 2024 version). It has a fundamental rule difference and needs a legacy version available.
My biggest issue is that i can’t redeem my digital copy of the DMG 2024. When i tried to redeem the book, i got a message that the key i got was already used. Did someone experieced similar problem or did i just redeemed the key sooner then i should and i should wait until the release date?

I am pretty sure its added just now
No, not for me.
Yes, I am fully synced.
i just did it on a test character for me, you ahve to manually add the origin feat if you create it through the builder otherwise it is functionally working for me. I can also create a new background outside of builder using the 2024 ones as template and add feats to it.

That's how it was before the Dungeon Master's Guide came out. What we are asking for is the ability to add the feat, ability score increases, and proficiencies in the builder without the need to use homebrew tools.

Yeah, I'm not jumping through any hoops to rig up something they damn well should have (already) programmed into the character builder I'm paying for.
The Beyond DMG lacks the Greyhawk Poster Map currently, and the Poster Map is different than the image in the Gazeeteer, it includes more cities and place names. I would like for it to be added.
Public Mod Note
(spamandtuna):
Fixed - These can be found in Appendix B: Maps.

Basic magic items such as Arrow, +1 do not appear unless the Legacy Content option is turned on in the character sheet.
Artificer Infusion: Replicate Magic Item, is missing 'Wand of secrets' and 'Rope of climbing' from 'Replicate Magic Item' list.

I've played every edition since 1980.
I’m old. 😂

This is fixed already. They moved the items to the free rules.

Ioun Stone of Mastery isn't applying the +1 to Proficiency Bonus when attuned.
