Diablo IV Open Beta: System Needs

Diablo IV System Requirements

Diablo IV Open Beta

If your PC meets the minimum requirements (or is slightly below), you should be good to go for the Diablo IV Open Beta. No codes or digital copies of the game are required to participate. You just need to download the game during or a day before the servers go live. Keep in mind that the full file size is approximately 80 GB, the same for consoles.

If you’re curious about what to expect from the Open Beta, the previous Early Access provides a good idea of the content included. However, expect some additional features in the next Beta run.

• Epilogue and Act 1 Campaign
• Fractured Peaks zone
• Dungeons
• Level 25 max cap
• Collectibles such as Altars of Lilith

Aside from the available content, the Open Beta will include two additional classes compared to the previous Early Access. Initially, only three base characters were available. Here are all the classes included in the Open Beta:

• Barbarian
• Rogue
• Sorcerer
• Druid
• Necromancer

The Open Beta will run from March 24 to 27, giving players three days to explore the game. Log in early to avoid potential long queues. Remember, this is not the final version of the game, so any bug reports or feedback are appreciated by the developers.
