Blizzard Entertainment revealed they will be holding a special event for Diablo IV as the team will be holding what they're calling a Server Slam Weekend. The event will take place from May 12th-14th, kicking off at 12pm PT, as everyone can come to Sanctuary's defense for a trial run on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles, as you will essentially be facing off against the armies of the Burning Hells as a sorta test period to help push the limits of the servers. The version f the game you'll be playing is the same as the previous Open beta weekends, only this one comes with all of the fixes and changes they have made to-date, as they have documented in their most recent blog. The event will support couch co-op for consoles and cross-play and cross-progression for all platforms. We got more notes from the team below as the main game will be released on June 6th, 2023.
