Diablo IV is still a few months away from unleashing hell on PC and console, but for fans who are eager to get an early taste of what to expect, an open beta is on the way. Currently, Diablo IV is scheduled to launch on June 6 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. The open beta will kick off in March, with early access being available to anyone who preordered the game, and it contains a fairly substantial chunk of Sanctuary to explore.
It’s worth noting that progress from the early access beta will carry over to the open weekend, but not to the full game when it launches later in the year, so don’t worry about getting too attached to your character. For everything else, you can read below for more details on what to expect and when you’ll be able to jump in.
Diablo IV closed and open beta dates
The early access weekend will be held from March 17-19, with preorders being the entry ticket to this first phase. Blizzard did confirm last year that a select number of participants will be able to participate as well, provided that they followed the right steps to register back in October. If you did apply but you didn’t receive an email by November 18, then sadly, you didn’t make the cut and will have to wait until the open beta runs from March 24-26.
If you pre-purchased the game digitally, early access to the open beta will automatically be available on your chosen platform. For anyone who did receive their early access code, you’ll need a Battle.Net account in which to redeem it. You’ll need to follow these steps to activate the code:
- Go to the Diablo beta website
- Log in or create a Battle.net account
- Enter your code here and select your gaming platform from the drop-down menu
- A success page will then confirm that your code was valid and it access will be added to your account on PC
- For console players, a platform-specific code to download the Beta will be emailed to the address linked to your Battle.net account closer to the start of the early access weekend
Diablo IV beta platforms
Blizzard is rolling the Diablo IV beta out to a wide variety of platforms, as you’ll be able to play on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
What to expect from the Diablo IV beta
Everything in the prologue and Act 1 of the Diablo IV beta can be accessed, including the main campaign missions and extra quests. This slice of the game will let you explore the first zone, Fractured Peaks, and you’ll be able to reach level 25 with your character. Blizzard says that the beta will allow for players to experience the core gameplay, and while some bugs are to be expected, feedback from the beta will be evaluated ahead of Diablo IV’s final release.
