And those who haven’t pre-ordered the game and want to try it out before buying it will be able to play from March 24 to 26.

Diablo IV Open Beta Details
According to Joe Shely, players will be able to play Diablo IV without any time limit. They will also be able to progress until they are at level 25. In the beta, the prologue and the entire first act will be playable. Players will be able to explore the first region of the game, the Fractal Peaks. It is unsure whether the progress from the beta will carry over to the full game. But, it will probably be possible to carry over the transfer. Blizzard has mentioned the open beta version of the game is not final and players may experience performance issues and outages.
Diablo IV is set for release on June 6 worldwide. Players who pre-ordered the Ultimate or Deluxe Editions of the game will be able to access it on June 2. It will release on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Microsoft Windows.
