Diablo 4 Preload: Date, Time, Size, & More

If you’re looking for a way to preload Diablo 4, then you’re in luck. Diablo 4 is the next installment in the legendary action RPG series from Blizzard, set to launch on June 6, 2023. The game will take players back to the dark and gritty world of Sanctuary, where they will face off against the forces of evil led by Lilith, the daughter of Mephisto.

If you’re eager to jump into the action as soon as possible, you’ll be happy to know that you can preload the game ahead of its release date. Preloading will allow you to download the game files in advance, so you can start playing right away when the servers go live.

Here’s everything you need to know about Diablo 4’s preload date, time, and size.

When Can I Preload Diablo 4?

The official preload date for Diablo 4 is May 30 at 4:00 p.m. PT / 7:00 p.m. ET. This is when you can start downloading the game on any of the supported platforms, including PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, and PS4. However, if you pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe or Ultimate Edition of the game, you may be able to preload it earlier, possibly on May 31.

These editions grant you early access to the game four days before the official launch date. Early access will begin on June 1 (June 2 outside of the Americas) at the same time as the full launch.
