If you’ve always wanted to try out Blizzard’s latest ARPG installment without having to purchase the game, you can finally do so now that the Diablo 4 free trial start date has kicked off. The limited-time promo will enable you to access all of the content that the developers have introduced to the game so far.

This includes the new Paragon board Reset button that the latest Diablo 4 Season 2 patch v1.2.1 added. Of course, since this is essentially just a demo of the game, there will be one specific limitation to the trial that will cut your experience short. So, if you want to know what that is and when you can start playing, keep reading to find out.

Diablo 4 free trial start date and time

The Diablo 4 free trial start date began on Thursday, October 26, 2023, at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 5 PM GMT for PC through the Battle.net platform. Since this event only acts as a demo of the game, you can only experience all the demon-slaying content that Sanctuary offers until you reach level 20.

As soon as you’ve attained the max level, you will have to purchase Diablo 4 to continue your progress. Fortunately, progress will carry over from your free trial if you do end up buying the game, so you won’t have to start over.

Diablo 4 free trial end date

The Diablo 4 free trial will end on Monday, October 30, 2023. Throughout the course of the event, you can access all of the content that’s been introduced to the game so far. But as mentioned before, you can only do so until you reach level 20, after which you’ll need to buy the game to continue playing.

Unfortunately, Blizzard hasn’t provided an exact end time for the free trial. However, we do expect it to conclude at the same time as it began, which means you may only be able to access Diablo 4 for free until 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 5 PM GMT.

That covers all you need to know about the Diablo 4 free trial start date. If you need help conquering the demon hordes of Sanctuary, check out our guides on how to beat Duriel in Diablo 4, Malignant Burrow location in Diablo 4, and how to farm Biteberry in Diablo 4.
