Diablo IV’s open beta is just around the corner, with the Early Access phase kicking off this weekend. Blizzard continues to unveil new information, such as preload availability and additional beta details, while NoPing ensures an enhanced gaming experience with improved connection.
The preload for Diablo IV’s Early Access beta will be available to those who pre-ordered the game or have access, starting on Wednesday, March 15th at 9:00 AM PDT/ 12 PM EDT. For players only joining the public open beta the following weekend, preload access begins on Wednesday, March 22nd at the same time.
Both weekends require a single download, and console players outside of Germany do not need Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus subscriptions for the beta weekends, though they will be necessary post-launch.
Starting March 17th, the official Diablo IV forums will open for beta discussions, bug reports, community engagement, and feedback. Additionally, the Diablo IV team will host a community livestream at 11 AM PDT, offering an inside look, tips, and more to prepare you for your demon-hunting escapades.
On March 18th and March 25th, players can challenge the world boss Ashavain Fractured Peaks at 10 AM, 12 PM, 10 PM, and midnight PDT. The general open beta will feature two new classes—Druid and Necromancer—alongside the Early Access beta’s Barbarian, Rogue, and Sorcerer. With up to 10 characters allowed per account, use this opportunity to explore different classes, as all will be deleted after the beta ends.
