What time does Diablo 4 launch? Global rollout times, explained

After a decade, Diablo 4 is almost here, and fans are counting down the days until the release to dive back into Sanctuary and explore the hellish world, fight world bosses, and raid dungeons. But the biggest question is when does Diablo 4 actually launch? 

If you’ve pre-purchased the Digital Deluxe or Ultimate version, you will be able to play earlier with up to four days of early access. But because there are so many release dates and times, knowing when Diablo 4 will arrive can be confusing.

Diablo 4 release dates

If you’ve pre-purchased the Digital Deluxe or Ultimate versions of Diablo 4, you’ll gain access on June 1 or 2, depending on your location. These release dates apply to all platforms: PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
