How long to beat beta Diablo 4?
The answer to this question has garnered a lot of attention as fans eagerly await the highly-anticipated action role-playing game, Diablo 4. In this article, we’ll delve into the time it takes to beat the beta version of the game and provide some insights to help you plan your Diablo 4 experience.
Diablo 4 campaign length
According to PCGamesN, the main campaign of Diablo 4 beta has a duration of about 30 hours, which covers all the main quests, several side quests, some Expeditions, some Strongholds, and a few minor dungeons. [1]
Here’s a breakdown of how long it takes to finish each part of the main campaign:
- Main Story Quests: 14-16 hours
- This includes the central narrative of the game, which takes you through the starter region, the Westmarch, and the Forest of the Damned.
- Side Quests and Secondary Storylines: 8-10 hours
- These quests fill out the world and give you a deeper understanding of the lore and characters of the game.
- Expiditions and Strongholds: 4-6 hours
- You can explore these areas as a way to earn reputation points, gear, and items.
Reaching Level 100
Assuming you complete the campaign, you’ll likely level up to around 40-45. But to reach the maximum level, 100, expect to spend an additional 120-150 hours, considering the time it takes to complete the remaining game content, including:
• Grim Favoring: Completing World Acts and earning Grim Reputation [2]. 20-30 hours

• Naziemons and Rifts: Conquering these and getting the best loot drops. 20-40 hours
• Grinding and Farming: Leveling up faster with the right gear, strategy, and playstyle. 40-120 hours
Endgame activities
Once you hit the maximum level, don’t worry; there are still plenty of things to do in Diablo 4! Here are some key activities to keep you entertained:
• Held Events: Participating in special events, 40-60 hours per month
• Content Updates: Exploring new content, 15-30 hours per quarter
• Leagues and Seasons: Enjoy competitive play, 25-50 hours per year
Conclusion
All things considered, the minimum playtime to beat beta Diablo 4 is estimated at 30 hours. However, if you’re aiming to reach maximum level 100, consider a playtime of approximately 150-200 hours, depending on your individual approach and playstyle.
