If you're wondering how long you have to play Diablo 4 in early access before it releases, you're in the right place, as Diablo 4's full release is fast approaching.

Sending players off into the macabre, bleak world of Sanctuary, the fourth instalment sees the return of iconic classes that fans of the franchise are undoubtedly familiar with, from the Sorcerer to Necromancer.

The early access period of Diablo 4 gives the most dedicated fans the chance to play the game even earlier, but as this window nears its end, and with the gates of Sanctuary close to being thrown open for all, here's what you need to know.

When does Diablo 4 early access end?

These release times are as follows:

  • 4PM PDT, June 5
  • 7PM EDT, June 5
  • 8PM BRT, June 5
  • 12AM BST, June 6

Diablo 4 early access: How to get in

In order to take part in the Diablo 4 early access period, you will need to pre-order either the Digital Deluxe Edition, or the Ultimate Edition. Both give early access to the game, so you should do your own homework on which version appeals to you.

It goes without saying, but if you want to get in you need to pre-order one of these versions ahead of time, before June 6. 

That is it for our Diablo 4 early access guide. For more on the game, check out our Diablo 4 character customisation guide.
