  1. Diablo 4 early access unlock times – PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S
  2. Diablo 4 release times – PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S

The Diablo 4 release date has already been revealed as June 6, 2023, for the Standard Edition and June 2, 2023, for those pre-ordering the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions – a classic case of pay-to-slay, eh?

It’s still two months until we’re back in Sanctuary for good, but Blizzard’s Mike Ybarra has already revealed the unlock times for both the early access launch as well as the regular release of the game, so you might as well set those alarms in your calendar right now to not miss a thing.

Naturally, we can expect an opportunity to preload the game ahead of these times as well, so we’ll keep you posted on that as information becomes available.

The Diablo 4 early access for those pre-ordering the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions begins on June 1, 2023, for those in the US, so even earlier than initially anticipated. Here is what that means for your time zone:

  • June 1, 4pm PT
  • June 1, 7pm ET
  • June 2, 12am BST
  • June 2, 1am CEST
  • June 2, 8am KST
  • June 2, 9am AEST
  • June 2, 11am NZST

Ybarra gave the same times for the regular launch a few days later, which will be go-time for everyone with the Standard Edition of Diablo 4. Here is what that means for your time zone:

  • June 5, 4pm PT
  • June 5, 7pm ET
  • June 6, 12am BST
  • June 6, 1am CEST
  • June 6, 8am KST
  • June 6, 9am AEST
  • June 6, 11am NZST

The Diablo 4 beta was very successful for Blizzard going by the numbers the company has released, which bodes well for the title’s launch in two months. It's safe to say that you won't be exploring Sanctuary all by yourself.
