Gamers who have eagerly awaited the launch of Diablo 4 can now start preloading the game, following the announcement that pre-purchased copies are now available for download. While this news is sure to excite fans who have been eagerly anticipating the game since its announcement in 2019, those who have held onto the client from the Diablo 4 beta test should be aware that these files will not speed up the installation process. Therefore, it's advisable to delete these beta files, which take up around 80 gigabytes of space, to free up valuable storage while preloading ahead of early access. Blizzard has confirmed the exact release dates and times for Diablo 4 in different regions and time zones, and players can still pre-purchase the game to receive exclusive cosmetic items. With three editions available - Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate - and a limited edition Diablo 4 Collectors Box that does not include the game itself, Diablo 4 is set to be one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year.
The highly anticipated Diablo 4 can now be preloaded on Blizzard's Battle.net client, with early access starting on June 1 in the US and June 2 in other regions. However, those interested in getting their hands on the game early should act quickly as pre-purchasing from this point onwards will come with diminishing returns. PlayStation and Xbox users can also preload the game. Despite its popularity, there are already concerns among players regarding the high prices of microtransactions in Diablo 4. A single equipment cosmetic set is priced at almost half the cost of the Standard Edition, leading some players to voice their dissatisfaction on social media.
With its release date on the horizon, Diablo 4 has already garnered much attention from both fans and critics alike. Notably, the game has earned an impressive Metacritic score of 88, a feat shared by its predecessors, Diablo 3 and Diablo 2. Despite this, the true test lies ahead as players eagerly await the game's full release after a tantalizing taste from beta tests earlier this year. As the countdown to June 6 approaches, fans can only hope that the game lives up to the high expectations set by its predecessors and the critical acclaim it has received.
