Now we’re onto the second weekend, here’s what you need to do to access the Diablo 4 beta, including start and end times.When does the Diablo 4 open beta start?
Diablo 4’s beta is now onto its second weekend, where it will be free to access for all players on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
The Diablo 4 open beta start times on Friday, March 24 are as follows:
9 a.m. PDT for the west coast of North America

Something to note is developer Blizzard has said players can expect “lengthy queue times”, particularly on the first day of the open beta launching.
As frustrating as this might sound, this is the cut and thrust of beta tests. For the developers, having a huge influx of players allows them to stress test servers, in all aid of seeing the full launch go a little more smoothly. As part of that, Blizzard has said it may “take the game offline temporarily to deploy infrastructure adjustments or fixes” as the weekend goes on.
Our advice is to try and give yourself a few opportunities to play this weekend in the event there are long queues, and not to expect to get speedy access on the Friday in particular. With that in mind — how long do you have with this beta?When does the Diablo 4 open beta end?
