Lilith has been brought back to Sanctuary through a sinister ceremony. As you prepare to traverse the five expansive Regions of Diablo IV, taking on the role of a Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, or Sorcerer, your task is to redress the suffering that Lilith has inflicted upon the world of her making. If you’re looking to jump into the game as soon as it launches into early access, we’ve got a countdown ticking to when that will be possible!
It should be noted that you will have to own either the Digital Deluxe Edition or the Ultimate Edition of Diablo IV to play in Early Access. This will grant you access the game 4 days earlier than players who purchased the Standard Edition.
Both the Digital Deluxe Edition and the Ultimate Edition of Diablo IV share several exclusive elements, including the Inarius Wings & Inarius Murloc Pet in Diablo III, the Amalgam of Rage Mount in World of Warcraft, the Umber Winged Darkness Cosmetics Set in Diablo Immortal, and the Temptation Mount, along with the Hellborn Carapace Mount Armor in Diablo IV. Additionally, both versions grant access to the Seasonal Battle Pass in Diablo IV. However, the Ultimate Edition, priced slightly higher, adds extra value with unique offerings such as the Wings of the Creator Emote in Diablo IV and an Accelerated Seasonal Battle Pass Unlock in Diablo IV.

Upon reaching the Diablo IV Game Page, the dropdown menu under Game Version should be accessed and the Diablo IV option selected. After this, the blue button saying ‘Install’ should be clicked, which will initiate the installation process. Once the game is available, clicking ‘Play’ will launch the game.
For Xbox users, the process is initiated by launching the Xbox Store, where you would then search for Diablo IV. Upon locating the game, select ‘Download’.
