Diablo 4 preorders come in all shapes and sizes. There are three different versions of Diablo 4 that you can preorder, with a Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Edition. There's also a Collector's Edition box that doesn't actually include a copy of the game. We'll be updating this guide as different retailer listings go live, so check back frequently.
It's worth noting that Diablo 4 supports Smart Delivery on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox, as well as a free upgrade on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. So if you're getting the console version, don't worry if you're still on a last-generation console, as you'll get a current-generation version later on at no additional cost, whenever you do get a current-generation machine.
It's also important to remember that while there are different versions of the game that include different bonuses, every preorder of the game grants early access to Diablo 4's beta. Make enough progress in the beta, and you'll unlock a wolf cub backpack for the full game!
