Blizzard’s latest foray into the Diablo franchise is (hopefully) looking to be a return to form for the company following the disastrously microtransaction-laden Diablo Immortal. If you played the most recent Server Slam beta, things were certainly looking optimistic – fixes were lightning-fast, and the team made some much-desired changes based on feedback. So when can we get our hands on the full game? Well, that depends on which version you buy.
How to Play Diablo IV Early
The “official” release date for Diablo IV is June 6, but you can play as early as June 2 if you purchase either the Digital Deluxe Edition or Ultimate Edition. The prices for each edition are as follows:
Standard Edition: $69.99
Digital Deluxe Edition: $89.99
Ultimate Edition: $99.99
As you can see, if you want to play early, you’ll be forking up 20 extra dollars at least. But don’t fret – there’s a lot more in it for you than early access to the full game if you do.
