If you're curious to see what Diablo IV is like, but weren't able to participate in last weekend's beta, the good news is Blizzard is running an open beta this weekend from March 24th to March 26th.
The download for the open beta is now officially live on the Xbox Store. This weekend will also allow players to try out the other classes, Druid and Necromancer. Last weekend, only the Barbarian, Sorcerer and Rogue were available.
As noted, you'll also be able to try out the online and local couch co-op modes:
You can find out more about the open beta in our guide elsewhere on Pure Xbox, and we also shared a 'hands-on' of our time with the game last weekend:
Will you be participating in the open beta this weekend? Comment below.

Yup locked and loaded. Need a break from the great Hogwarts Legacy...!
Only got the beta as I wanted the rewards points but happy to try as the last one I played was Diablo 2…
Looking forward to this. Diablo is one of my favorite series.
@BBB
Same for me, Friday was unplayable. But Saturday and Sunday was smooth sailing.
Looking forward to trying the beta but as we all know with diablo it takes 2 years after release for the games to get where they should be...
So is this "open" open to everyone, or "pre-order" open?
@Kaloudz Cool, thanks - what I hoped, but with modern gaming you can never be too sure.
most wanted game by far
I have downloaded it yesterday. Let's see how does it work.
So, a couple of questions…1) do I need to preorder to play this beta? 2) will my progress carry over to the full game when released?
@BBB Cheers 👍
@Ashadelo same here, Diablo is an all time favorite series for me. This is a huge release for me, i still play Diablo 3 to put it in perspective for how excited i am for D4. Hope you enjoy it!! 😀
Already installed. Very excited to try this one. Not gonna preorder anything, but this could be a day one buy if this beta is as good as people online have led me to believe!
@BBB i9 read an interview today that said they are purposely going to have ques that might be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. A game developer say. You know how many copies you sold you know what your servers can handle I have never really understood this process.
