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.

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.
