"Diablo 4 Beta: Long Queue Times, Metalhead Hair, and More Changes"

Players joining the Diablo 4 open beta this weekend should expect "unprecedented" queue times as developers test online infrastructure. Blizzard has reminded players that the beta is about testing functionality, and queues are necessary to stress test their services. The worst queue times are expected soon after the open beta begins on Friday and during peak regional windows. The game will be available to all from March 24 to March 27, and is set to release on June 6 on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, and PC.
