The Diablo 4 developers recently released the details for the game's open beta, including its dates, early access, and more.

This announcement came via a post on their official site, as well as on a tweet on the official Diablo Twitter account. They gave two windows for players to test the game out prior to its June 6, 2023 release date. The first Open Beta period on March 17-19, 2023, will be for the players who pre-purchased the game. This is the Early Access Open Beta. Afterward, those who did not pre-purchase the game can participate in the second Open Beta weekend. This one will happen the following week, on March 24-26, 2023.

The Free Open Beta that everyone can join starts on March 24, 2023, at 9:00 AM PDT. Players do not need to repurchase the game to participate in the Free Open Beta.

When playing the Free Open beta, players will be able to get up to three rewards. Each of these awards will be available to the player once they play the full game. Here are the three rewards and what to do to get them:

  • Initial Casualty title: Reach Kyovashad with one character
  • Early Voyager title: Reach level 20 with one character
  • Beta Wolf Pack cosmetic item: Reach level 20 with one character

Interestingly, over 1 million puppies found a “forever home” during the first Beta.

Players will be able to enjoy Diablo 4's early game in the Open Beta. This includes the campaign's Prologue, as well as the game's Act 1. This also includes the game's first zone, Fractured Peaks. The Open Beta has a level cap of Level 25, meaning players will no longer level up past this cap. However, this doesn't mean that players will not be able to play once they reach it. Players who reach the level cap can still continue to play the game until the Open Beta period ends.
