It’s important to note that those who already have the Diablo 4 open beta downloaded from a previous access period will need to update that version of the game.

Additionally, to enjoy the multiplayer aspect of the Server Slam, an active Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus subscription is currently not required. However, this won't be the case for the official title that drops in June.

If you are in Germany, you will need a PS Plus subscription for the Server Slam due to the title’s rating requirements.
