Diablo 4, the latest open-world RPG from Blizzard, has finally been released for gamers to enjoy. Die-hard fans of the series were able to get their hands on the game a few days earlier through Early Access, but only by purchasing the Ultimate or Digital Deluxe edition for $99.99 and $89.99, respectively. For those opting for the Standard Edition, priced at $69.99, they will have to wait for the official launch on June 6 in certain regions before diving into the world of Sanctuary. However, players who did not purchase the pricier editions can still use this guide to find out the release time for the "normal" launch of Diablo 4.
When is Diablo 4 Playable?
To make it easier for Diablo 4 players worldwide, Blizzard has shared a release time chart. Unlike most video games that release around midnight ET on launch day, Diablo 4 offers a unique launch time. This allows players to start playing a little earlier than usual. For instance, gamers on the west coast (California) can start playing at 4 PM on June 5th. On the other hand, those on the east coast, such as New York City and Orlando, can start playing at 7 PM on the same day. Here's a list of different time zones worldwide to provide a better understanding:
Diablo 4 Launch Times
4 PM PT June 5 5 PM MT June 5 6 PM CT June 5 7 PM ET June 5 8 PM BRT June 5 12 AM BST June 6 1 AM CEST June 6 2 AM TRT June 6 8 AM KST June 6 9 AM AEST June 6 11 AM NZST June 6
It's worth noting that a few players have reported server problems with Diablo 4. As a result, even if the game has already launched in your area, there may be wait times or issues that prevent you from accessing the game right away. Given the massive player base of Diablo 4, with millions of players trying to play at once, it's no surprise that some obstacles may arise. While the servers underwent several beta stress tests, gamers should still anticipate some in-game bugs and glitches. Fortunately, Blizzard will be releasing updates to address these issues over time. Diablo 4 is available on a variety of platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
