Blizzard Entertainment’s open beta for Diablo 4 kicks off next week for all players worldwide. However, those who pre-ordered the full game can access the beta early from March 17th to 19th. Preloads for the first beta weekend are now available, weighing 45 GB and going up to 80 GB with the high-resolution texture pack on PC.
PlayStation and Xbox owners can download it through the game’s listing on their respective storefronts. The open beta provides access to the Prologue and Act 1, the latter set in the Fractured Peaks region. It’s full of World Events, Dungeons, Side Quests and some Main Quests with a World Boss on its own schedule.
However, the early access open beta only offers three classes – the Barbarian, Rogue and Sorcerer. Next week’s open beta will have all five, with preloads for that going live on March 22nd.
Diablo 4 launches on June 6th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. Ultimate Edition owners can gain access four days early – head here for more details.
