Players will be able to pre-load the game about a week before the beta kicks off as well. Moreover, progress from the first early access beta will be carried forward to the open beta. However, the progression and the rewards obtained in both will not carry over to the official title when it drops.

If you have pre-purchased the game, you will be able to access the game's open beta. The title will be available on the platform you want the game on automatically, and all you will need is a Battle.Net account to access it.

Both the betas will be available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.

Moreover, those looking to enjoy the title with a friend can also opt into the couch co-op feature for the console versions of Diablo 4. This will allow both players to use their respective Battle.Net accounts to enable, and they can create a max of 10 characters during the beta test.
