Diablo 4 open beta starts next month

DIABLO 4 has confirmed that it will hold an open beta so fans can playtest the game early.

There will be two weekends when people can play, and players from most regions will be able to join in the beta test.

It is also available on all launch consoles, including Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.

The beta was revealed alongside a new cinematic trailer for the game, which is scheduled to release on June 6, 2023.

However, fans can play the game roughly three months earlier by joining the open beta test.

The beta test will take place over two weekends, with the first weekend restricted to those who have pre-ordered Diablo 4.

If you have already pre-ordered, you can redeem your code for the beta test now.

You will also be able to join this first beta test if you pre-order the game before the beta test starts.

The first beta test will take place from March 17 until March 19, and will require this code redemption in order to play. 

The second beta test is open to everyone and will take place on March 24 until March 26.

If you take part in the original beta test with your pre-order code, you will still be able to play the beta test on the second weekend.

Most of the game will be locked off in the beta, but players will be able to try the prologue, Act 1, and will have a level cap of 25.

This is roughly the same amount that reviewers could try out for the Diablo 4 preview.

More details about the open beta will be released on March 1 as part of a developer livestream.

What we know for now is that it will allow you access to the early game, almost three months before the game’s full launch.
