How Long Does the Diablo 4 Free Trial Last?

  • The Diablo 4 free trial on Steam runs until November 28.

The free trial of Diablo 4 comes at a very suitable time for new players. Diablo 4 is running Mother's Blessing Week, giving everyone 35% additional gold and XP until November 27. Blizzard has confirmed that the bonus also applies to the free trial, so depending on the pace of progression, players can reach the level cap in just a few hours. Players who purchase Diablo 4 after testing it can carry over all their progress to the full version of the game.

The first Diablo 4 season had a rough start and was marked by controversial changes made by Blizzard. As a result, some players decided not to continue playing, and others waited for a more suitable time to dive in. With the launch of the second season, Blizzard reversed some of the changes and brought in adjustments to mounts, stash, Nightmare Dungeons, and the long-awaited elemental resistance rework in Diablo 4. Combined with Diablo 4's trial period and the major discount, this may be a nice opportunity for players to finally check out one of the most popular releases of the year.
