How to Play the PC Open Beta

Pre-Register at Diablo Immortal's Site

You can pre-register by visiting the Diablo Immortal Official Website and selecting the platform of your choice.

Note that the open beta is only for PC users. iOS and Android users will be able to play the release version of the game on June 2, 2022.

Furthermore, the website mentions that you will have a chance to participate, so pre-registering may not guarantee a slot in the open beta test.

How to Pre-Register: Pre-Registration Rewards

Pre-Register via the Battle.net Launcher

Another way to pre-register is via the Battle.net launcher. If you already have an account, start up the launcher and select the Games tab next to the Battle.net logo on the launcher's top left.

Look for Diablo Immortal in the games list and select it. Once at its store page, simply press the button to Pre-Register and you're set for the June 2 release.

Open Beta Progress Is Not Wiped

Players will be able to keep their play data even after the PC Open Beta ends. This means any progress made and any in-game purchases completed will carry over to the full release. So, fear not and play the open beta like it's the full version of the game!

PC Open Beta Features

PC and Mobile Cross-Play Support

Cross-play is possible between PC and mobile for Diablo Immortal. This means you can easily play with other players no matter what device you or your friends choose to play on! Hop on with a group in Blizzard's very first cross-play supported Diablo title.

Cross-Progression is Available

The PC Open Beta will also start testing the cross-progression feature of Diablo Immortal, allowing you to use the same character and save data when switching between the PC and mobile versions of the game. Whether you're at home or on the move, Diablo Immortal's seamless cross-progression system will allow you to keep gaming on any platform.

Controllers are Compatible with PC

Just like in the mobile Closed Beta, Diablo Immortal will also feature full controller support for the PC Open Beta. Boasting customizable button mapping and supporting most major controller types, Immortal welcomes alternate inputs even when gaming on the PC.

Controller Support: How to Use and Supported Controller List

Re-Worked WASD Control Scheme

One of the biggest changes coming with the PC Open Beta is its alternate WASD control scheme. Instead of the traditional point-and-click navigation, the developers have also provided the option to navigate via WASD.

For fans of isometric ARPGs, this familiar control scheme will be available during the open beta. Do note that this is an entirely optional feature. Fans of the original Diablo series' controls will still be able to use them.

List of Settings and the Best Settings to Use

Hotkeys for all Major Functions

To bridge the mobile and PC experience of Diablo Immortal together, the developers have made sure to map all of the game's major functions to different hotkeys for the PC. This will allow for a seamless experience when switching between the different platforms.
