Diablo IV Early Access, Open Beta PC Requirements: Minimum, Recommended

Diablo IV's Early Access and Open Beta weekends are fast-approaching, and PC players will need to take note of the recommended system requirements.

There are two upcoming weekends in which players can try out Diablo IV ahead of its full release on June 6, 2023, these are:

• Early Access: beginning March 17 and running until March 19
• Open Beta: beginning March 24 and running until March 26

During the Early Access weekend, players will be able to play as either the Barbarian, Sorcerer or Rogue. Once the Open Beta weekend swings around, the Necromancer and Druid classes become available to play. And while players can only level up their characters to Level 25, they'll be able to get a first glimpse of the game's campaign through the Prologue and the entirety of Act 1.

In addition, playing Diablo IV during either of the weekends provides the chance to earn a selection of cosmetics, including the Beta Wolf Pack item.

But, before the weekends roll around, PC players will need to know if they'll be able to run Diablo IV. Below, we've listed both the minimum and recommended PC system requirements players will need to take note of.
