Before each new season in Diablo 4, they release a Public Test Realm, or PTR, where players can test out all the latest additions, changes, and mechanics for the next season. The PTR usually goes live a month before its planned release date, so the developers have time to balance the game and fix the bugs. The PTR is available for everyone. Here’s how to install it and try the newest updates before they officially go live.
Where to Download the Diablo 4 Public Test Realm
To download Diablo 4’s PTR, you must first install Blizzard’s Battle.net App. Open the app and log in to your account. Choose the Diablo 4 game from the “Games” tab. On the Diablo 4 page, as seen in the image above, you can click the dropdown box and choose the “Public Test Realm.”
