How can I preload Diablo 4?

Before you can head on over to Battle.net to preload Diablo 4, you need to make sure you have the required storage space on your PC. For Diablo 4, 90GB is the required space to save the game.

Here is how you will preload the game onto Battle.net:

  1. Once you have purchased a version of Diablo 4, head on over to Battle.net and select Diablo 4 from the games tab
  2. From there select the version of Diablo 4 you want to install from the drop-down menu in the bottom left corner
