The doors to Sanctuary are about to open with the looming launch of Diablo IV. But, a select few will have the privilege to enter before anyone else during the Open Beta which will be happening from March 24 until March 26. Early Access happens the weekend before from March 17 to March 19.

The Early Access and the Open Beta allow players to play through the prologue and first act of the game with a level cap of Level 25. In addition, players who complete the available content before the end of the early access and open beta are able to continue slaying the hordes of hell even after completing the available content. However, they will not be able to progress beyond the level cap. Given the open-world take on the gothic dungeon crawler, this should give players a better feel for what’s coming when the game launches on 6 June.

That said, it should be noted that the experiences during this time will be, as the name suggests, in beta. Players who do take part in the Early Access and Open Beta will be actively involved in the development of the game and will encounter bugs and glitches which will help the team at Blizzard deliver a better end product.

To be part of the early access beta, you will need to redeem your “Beta Early Access” code that you registered for earlier. This can be done at the Diablo IV beta website. If you’ve pre-purchased Diablo IV, you’ll automatically be able to access the early access and open beta. The open beta and early access will be happening across PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Those using consoles for the beta will be given a redeemable code for a beta copy of the game upon registration and redemption of the “Beta Early Access” code. Keep in mind, each code can only be redeemed for one platform.
