Diablo 4 Launches in Two Stages: A Mini-Guide to Get You Ready

The Background

Blizzard Entertainment, a developer known for creating iconic games such as Warcraft and Starcraft, is back with another addition to the gaming world: Diablo IV. The new action RPG is set in the mythical world of Sanctuary and is designed to be the most expansive and engaging game the company has ever released in the Diablo series. With two separate launch dates and multiple editions, it can get challenging to track all these different releases. To prepare you for this incredible game, we have everything you need to know about Diablo 4’s Xbox release times and download size.

The Launch Dates

Diablo 4 launches in two separate waves depending on which version of the game you pick up.

If you have Deluxe Edition and Ultimate Edition, you will get early access to the game and can dive into the world of Sanctuary as early as June 1st. However, some regions may have access to the game on the late hours of June 1st. The Diablo 4 release time for the Deluxe Edition and Ultimate Edition owners is 4 pm PT / 7 pm ET on June 1st; That is 12 am BST / 1 am CEST on June 2nd. The standard edition, on the other hand, will be available from June 5th or June 6th, depending on your region, and it will launch at 4 pm PT / 7 pm ET on June 5th; which is 12 am BST / 1 am CEST on June 6th.

The Download Size

To preload the game, you need to be aware of the download size. Diablo 4 is already available for preload on all three Xbox iterations (Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S), regardless of which version you have. At the time of writing, Diablo 4 clocks in at just over 74GB on Xbox Series X and seemingly around 40GB on Xbox Series S.
