Here's when you can get into the Diablo 4 Server Slam and see how the game has changed ahead of its full launch.

Following two beta periods, Blizzard will be hosting a final Diablo IV playtest--dubbed the Server Slam--in May, just a few weeks before the game's full launch. This test is, as the name implies, intended to test the developer's online infrastructure and ensure that issues can be ironed out before the game goes live. Of course, it's also a great opportunity to try out Diablo IV's five different classes and explore the world of Sanctuary, especially if you haven't decided whether you want to buy the game yet. Here's everything we know about the Diablo IV Server Slam so far, including the start date, available content, classes, rewards, and more.

The Diablo IV Server Slam will run from May 12-14 and be available on all of the game's platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC. The test will only run for those three days, unlike the beta, which was split into two weekends and carried over progress between the two. Progress will not carry over from those weekends to the Server Slam, nor will Server Slam progress transfer to the full game. However, if you already have that game client installed, it will still work for the Server Slam once it's updated.
