Early access to the Open Beta (pre-order only)

Players that pre-order any version of Diablo 4, which includes the Standard Edition, will be guaranteed early access to Diablo 4's Open Beta. Blizzard states that the Open Beta will last a minimum of 2 days.

Light Bearer mount (pre-order only)

Also, those pre-ordering will receive Light Bearer, an in-game rideable mount adorned with red and black armor, called Caparison of Faith. Because Diablo 4 is strictly against pay-to-win, the mount is cosmetic-only. It's also only accessible once the player unlocks the mounts feature.

If you buy on one platform, can you play on all platforms?

Players wanting to play the game on multiple platforms (e.g., PC and Xbox, or PlayStation and Xbox) must buy a copy of the game on each platform they want to play on. Buying on one platform doesn't grant a player access to all of them.

Cross-generation for consoles

If you have multiple generations of the same console platform (e.g., Xbox One and Xbox Series X) and wish to play Diablo 4 on them, you only need to buy the game once on that platform. Your progression will be tracked across all of them.
