Diablo 4 has finally arrived, but there’s a slight complication with two separate release dates. The first date is exclusively for Digital Deluxe and Ultimate Edition owners, who can enjoy early access starting from June 2. For everyone else, the wait extends till Tuesday, June 6, when they can join the Diablo 4 adventure. The great news is that both launches will happen simultaneously worldwide, ensuring fairness and eliminating any reason to feel envious if players from other regions start a bit earlier.

The release of Diablo 4 will happen simultaneously across all regions, aligned with midnight U.K. time. As a result, players in the Americas will be able to embark on their gaming journey starting from Thursday, whereas players in Asia will need to wait until Friday morning to immerse themselves in the game. The Digital Deluxe edition of Diablo 4 provides an exclusive mount and mount armor set. Conversely, the Ultimate Edition offers a level skip feature and a variety of additional cosmetics. If you want to determine which edition would be most suitable for you, we suggest consulting the Diablo 4 pre-order guide.

When Does Diablo 4 Release In Full?

For all other Diablo 4 players, you’ll have to wait for Tuesday, June 6, to start playing. Diablo 4’s full release will be playable on the following dates and times:

4 p.m. PDT on June 5 for the West Coast of North America
7 p.m. EDT on June 5 for the East Coast of North America
12:01 a.m. BST on June 6 for the U.K.
1 a.m. CEST on June 6 for west mainland Europe
8 a.m. KST / JST on June 6 for Korea / Japan
11 a.m. AEST on June 6 for East Coast Australia

During both release periods, there’s a possibility of queue times and server issues. These challenges are common in online games, and Diablo 3 faced its own share of difficulties in this regard. However, the developers have conducted extensive beta testing, including the “Server Slam” event designed to rigorously test the game’s online connectivity. This gives us hope that the release of Diablo 4 this year will be more stable, with improved measures in place to mitigate potential problems.

When Can I Install Diablo 4’s Early Access?

Diablo 4 can be preloaded from midnight on May 31 in the U.K. And to download on PC or console, you can visit the game’s listing in the respective online store.
