Attention heroes of Sanctuary! In preparation for the launch on June 6, 2023, we will be opening the gates of Hell one more time for everyone to play Diablo IV and test our server infrastructure for what we are calling a Server Slam weekend.ย Fromย May 12, 12 PMโMay 14, 12 PM PDT (May 13, 3 AM – May 15, 3 AM Manila time), everyone can come to Sanctuaryโs defense onย Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, andย PlayStation 4โalong withย couch co-op for consoles and cross-play and cross-progression for all platformsโagainst the armies of the Burning Hells to help us test the durability of our servers. The version of Diablo IV available during Server Slam will be similar to our previous Open Beta weekends, however, it will include all bug fixes and updates detailed in ourย Open Beta Retrospective blog.ย There are also some new rewards players can earn if they participate!
TO GET THE MOST FROM SERVER SLAM WEEKEND:

- Donโt forget to try your hand at defeating theย World Boss, Ashava, the biggest challenge of the weekend!
