Has the Diablo 4 Beta Been Extended?

March 20, 2023

Diablo 4‘s early-access beta ran from March 17 to March 20. The next beta phase, available to anyone, kicks off on March 24, but many players have already reported connection issues, which were not completely fixed during the closed beta. Therefore, many hope the beta will be extended to compensate for these issues.

When does the Diablo 4 beta end?

Unfortunately, the Diablo 4 beta has not been extended, so the open beta is still scheduled to end on March 26. Many players encountered long queue times and connection issues during the early-access beta, meaning they couldn’t play the beta. Blizzard announced they were actively working on this issue, but this was too late for some.

We are aware of the issues impacting Open Beta Early Access, leading to long queue times and server disconnections.

The team is managing the rate of players entering the game until we have a full fix for the connection issues.

Hopefully, Blizzard will have resolved the connection issues, meaning those unable to participate in the closed beta can enjoy the open beta without problems. The open beta will also have classes unavailable in the closed beta, including the Druid and the Necromancer.
