Diablo 4 Beta Download is now active and huge

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

Today, March 15th, the preload for the Diablo 4 beta begins. The download size is significantly larger than expected. If you’re struggling with a slow line, you’d better start early if you want to play on time on Friday.

How big is the download? The download size of the beta is according to the first reports over 85 GB on the PC (via Twitter). This is almost twice as much as originally assumed, because according to the system requirements, the game should only be up to 45 GB in size.

However, it must be said that the corresponding download contains the high-resolution assets. Without these, the size should be at least slightly smaller.

How can I pre-download the game? You must have pre-ordered Diablo 4 for the current preload, because from 17.-20. Early access for pre-orderers will only take place in March. Here you can find information about the editions of Diablo 4.

You then have to redeem your pre-order or the beta key. You can then simply download the game via your platform:

  • PC: Visit the Diablo 4 tab in the Battle.net client and click Download. If you can’t find the game, click on “All Games”
  • PlayStation: Search for Diablo 4 on the PS Store and select Download
