How to Access the Diablo 4 Beta
To get early access to the Diablo 4 beta, you must pre-order the game. It doesn’t matter which edition you pre-order, as you’ll get early access to the beta with any of them.
If you live in the US, you can also join in a pretty weird collaboration and buy a Double Down burger from KFC before the promotion ends on March 18 to get a code for early access to the beta.

What’s included in the Diablo 4 Beta?
The beta seems to be giving us a good look at many different parts of Diablo 4!
Here are the highlights of what’s included in the Diablo 4 Beta:
- Prologue and the entire story of Act 1.
- The first area, Fractured Peaks, is available to explore.
- Three character classes in early access beta: Barbarian, Rogue, and Wizard.
- Five beta characters available to everyone: Barbarian, Rogue, Sorcerer, Druid, and Necromancer.
- Your character can reach level 25.
- You can create a maximum of 10 characters per Battle.net account.
- Dungeons.
- “Local” quests.
- Lots of loot!
- Can play couch co-op with another player on consoles (their account does not need to have access to the current beta).
- Up to 4 player co-op while playing online (each account must have access to current beta).
- Get 5% bonus experience for killing enemies in co-op and 10% if you are near a party member.
- Ashava World Boss on fixed dates and times.
You can fight Ashava during the beta on:
- Saturday, March 18 at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 10 p.m. and midnight (PDT)
- Saturday, March 25 at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 10 p.m. and midnight (PDT)
So in the UK, you can face Ashava on Saturday March 18 at 5pm and 7pm, Sunday March 19 at 5am and 7am, and Saturday March 25 and Sunday March 26 at the same times.
Finally, it’s important to note that while progress will carry over from early access beta accounts to the open beta, all characters created during these weekends will be deleted once the beta ends – so you can’t use them in the full version.
Diablo 4 Beta Rewards
For playing the Diablo 4 beta and completing challenges, you will receive cosmetic rewards once the full game launches.
Here are the beta challenges and what they reward:
| Beta Challenge | Reward |
