The highly anticipated follow-up to Diablo III is finally here — well, almost.

Diablo IV is officially releasing in a grand launch on June 5-6, 2023, but there's good news for lovers of the famous action RPG. With the new open world gameplay mechanics, you can finally see your character come to life as Sanctuary’s savior, but here's something even more exciting: The early-access version of Blizzard Entertainment’s latest offering is already up for grabs.

Here’s how you can get early access: 

Pre-order the Ultimate Edition or the Deluxe Edition(opens in a new tab) of the game for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, or PC to get instant entry into early access for Diablo IV. The early access period has already started for all regions, and all the available content will be the same as the base game and other editions. 

Which edition should I get? 

At $100, the Ultimate edition is the only choice if you want early access.

Otherwise, the Standard Edition is priced at $70, and the Digital Deluxe edition is $90. The Deluxe edition comes with the Temptation Mount, the Hellborn Carapace Mount Armor, and a Battle Pass. With the Ultimate edition and its exclusive early access, you’ll get all the good stuff from Deluxe, along with a Wings of the Creator Emote.

Why should you get the Early Access version? 

Players that take advantage of Early Access will be able explore all of its content, including the full map and all of the current classes: Barbarian, Rogue, Sorcerer, Necromancer, and Druid. Since each of the classes makes for a unique gameplay experience, early access players are unlikely to get bored!
