It seems that this weekend is the weekend of Beta Tests because both Diablo 4 and Exoprimal are hosting theirs. The former is hosting a closed one while the latter is open to all. This is a great way to test games before they release and probably make some last-minute changes. Diablo 4 is the next main entry of the franchise, and it is bringing things that people loved from the second game and the third one. This is good given how Diablo Immortal was a trainwreck for many, and hopefully, the new game will redeem Blizzard. So, if you want to know when the Diablo 4 closed beta starts, here we’ll tell you about it.
Diablo 4 Closed Beta Start Times
It is important to note that Diablo 4 will host two beta tests. The first one will be just for a select few and the second one is an open beta test. We’ll talk about both of them here. Without further ado, these are the start times for the Closed and Open Beta of Diablo 4:
- Diablo 4 Closed Beta: March 17 at 9 am PT – March 20 at 12 pm PT
- Diablo 4 Open Beta: March 24 at 9 am PT – March 27 at 12 pm PT
Sanctuary beckons.
Only 24 hours until the #DiabloIV Open Beta Early Access. Pre-purchase on PC or console for access. https://t.co/73mjYSfJBO pic.twitter.com/iqIIWUeWlq

Both beta tests are close to each other and this should help Blizzard get a general idea of how players are feeling about the game. To get access to the closed beta, all you have to do is pre-order the game. This can be seen as an early access trial more than a beta test and a way to encourage players to purchase the game. On the other hand, if you want to participate in the open beta, you don’t need to buy the game. All you have to do to is download it whenever the date arrives. So, whether you buy it or not, you’ll be able to play the game for quite a bit. The beta tests will include the first act and you’ll be able to reach level 25. Now all you have to do is mark your calendar and wait for the closed and open beta tests of Diablo 4 to get here.
