Activision Blizzard has published a long blog post all about Diablo 4 on its official website, detailing the various mechanics revolving around character builds, character creation, gear, and more. 

The publisher also revealed the PC system requirements to play the game – three main tiers and one Ultra tier of requirements depending on player preference and hardware specs – and one of them is particularly interesting.

The Ultra 4K tier, which will net you the biggest gains in performance but requires the most demanding specs, necessitates that you have 32GB of RAM in order to play Diablo 4 in the highest resolution possible.

Regardless, it’s one of several options that gamers can choose from, with the others being far more reasonable.

The requirements have been announced just ahead of Diablo 4’s ‘Server Slam’ weekend, which runs from May 12-14 and is the last beta run of the title before its official launch on June 6, 2023. The event is named as such because game director Joe Shely, in a livestream, asked players to «slam our servers!», adding “We need as many people to log in and check out Diablo 4 and play the game because we need to test our servers before launch.”
