After years of speculation, Diablo 4 open beta is available. The owner of the long-awaited game, Blizzard Entertainment, first announced the schedule of Diablo 4 in 2019. The company kept its promise, and the game will be released on June 6, 2023. Before diving into the details of the game, we would like to share the greatest news: open beta is available for everyone. You do not need any access code or special invitation. But keep in mind that you may come across a login queue when you try to play the open beta. Blizzard works on servers, and currently, the servers work well. But, on the first day, the login queues were extremely long. So, if you encounter a long login queue, do not be surprised.
