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.
