How to play the Diablo 4 Beta

If you want to be one of the first to play Blizzard’s Diablo 4, you can do so by joining their beta phase.
There will be an early access beta from March, 17th to March 20th, and later on an open beta for everyone free to play from March 24th to March 26th.

Pre-Access Diablo 4 Beta

The fastest way to get your hands on the game is through pre-ordering the game. Players who have pre-purchased Diablo 4 will get access from March, 17 9 a.m. PDT (or 17:00 Central European Time) to March 20th 12 p.m. PDT (20:00 Central European Time). Yes, the beta starts and ends later in Europe than in the US. You will get to play the campaign via the Prologue and the entirety of Act 1. And you can navigate freely Diablo 4’s first zone, Fractured Peaks. The maximum level will be capped at 25,

If you haven’t pre-purchased Diablo IV yet, you can do so via this link.

Open Beta

If you don’t want to pre-order Diablo IV yet and still want a chance to play the game, you’ll have to wait for the open beta, which will take place from March 24 at 9 a.m. PDT (or 17:00 Central European Time) to March 27 at 12 p.m. PDT (or 21:00 Central European Time). You’ll need a battle.net account to join the beta and can create a maximum of 10 characters. Both betas will provide couch co-op, and even online 4-player co-op will be available! Everyone of your friends will need their own access to beta though, you can’t share yours except for players who join you on your couch.

Important: Your progress will transfer from the pre-access beta to the open beta, but after that your characters will be deleted, regardless if you pre-ordered the game or not!

By playing the beta you’ll get the chance to earn rewards for when Diablo 4 officially launches, on June, 6th 2023. These are the rewards:

• Initial Casualty Title: earned by reaching Kyovashad with one character.
