The time for betas and tests is over, and now we only have the full Diablo 4 experience left to wait for. Not counting the mobile spin-off, it’s been over a decade since we’ve had a true return to Sanctuary, and fans are more than ready for it. Featuring a brand-new story, new skills, and a whole new way to play with a persistent world, hundreds of hours will be spent slaying demons alone and with friends.

As big of a game Diablo 4 is going to be, who wants to wait to dive in? Thankfully you can cut down on that wait by preloading the game so you can start building your character and hunting down Lilith to save Sanctuary the moment the game goes live.

Diablo 4’s file size isn’t fully confirmed as of yet, however, we do know that the PC requirements ask for 90GB of space, so aim to have at least that much available for the game.
