How to download the Diablo 4 Open Beta
To download the Diablo 4 Open Beta on PC – launch the Battle.net client, and if Diablo 4 isn’t already in your favourites bar, you should be able to find it on the All Games page, at the top of the list.
Once there, hit the Blue ‘install’ button to begin downloading – this button will change to ‘Play’ when it’s done, and you can hit that to launch.
On console – search your console’s relevant store for ‘Diablo IV Open Beta’ – and it should pop up in the results. Easy!
