'Diablo IV' Server Slam Beta Gets DLSS 3 And GeForce RTX Bundle, NVIDIA Reveals More DLSS Games

by Rainier on May 9, 2023 @ 8:46 a.m. PDT

Diablo IV draws players into a grim story line and gives them the freedom to explore and forge their own path across the most expansive and intense vision of the world of Sanctuary—a bleak and shattered hellscape bereft of hope and beset by demons.

An ancient evil threatens to engulf Sanctuary in darkness, and new heroes have been called upon to face challenges the world has never seen before.

True to the franchise’s roots, Diablo IV will deliver visceral combat, gruesome and varied monsters, an epic hunt for legendary loot, and endless playability and progression. Players will find a lifetime’s worth of adventure scattered across a land rooted in unique ecologies and inhabited by dangerous new foes. They’ll delve into randomized dungeons packed with unpredictable adversaries and unimaginable treasures. While continuing to fully support solo and coordinated party play, Diablo IV will also provide opportunities for groups of players to encounter each other in the same shared world—whether to tackle bigger challenges . . . or possibly even slaughter one another in player-vs.-player combat.

In Diablo IV, players will attempt to bring hope back to the world by vanquishing evil in all its vile incarnations—from cannibalistic demon-worshipping cultists to the all-new drowned undead that emerge from the coastlines to drag their victims to a watery grave. For the first time in the series, Sanctuary will be a contiguous, seamless landmass comprising diverse regions ranging from the burning desert of Kejhistan, to the verdant werewolf-infested forests of Scosglen, to the harsh and rugged wilderness of the Dry Steppes.

This Friday Blizzard kicks off the Diablo IV Server Slam Beta, and gamers can get a sneak peek at the difference that DLSS 3 makes in the game.  To celebrate Diablo IV coming June 6th, NVIDIA has the Diablo IV GeForce RTX 40 Series Bundle.

In other DLSS news,  Fobia - St. Dinfna HotelNo One Survived, and Someday You'll Return: Director's Cut are boosting performance with DLSS 2 support. 

GeForce RTX and Diablo IV are a match made in…

Blizzard and NVIDIA have partnered to bring game-changing technologies to Diablo IV, giving GeForce gamers the definitive experience. Accelerate frame rates with NVIDIA DLSS 3, and make gameplay even more responsive using NVIDIA Reflex. And if that weren’t enough, players can raise hell with ray tracing in Diablo IV when it becomes available post-launch.

Gamers can get a taste of what is to come when Diablo IV’s DLSS 3-enhanced Server Slam Beta begins this week! Following the successful DLSS 2-enhanced Open Beta, Blizzard invites games to stress test their servers in the Diablo IV Server Slam, occurring May 12th to 14th. On the tech side, the Server Slam introduces support for NVIDIA DLSS 3, enabling GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers to smash the forces of evil at the absolute highest frame rates.

Diablo IV is being developed using modern technology that pushes the franchise to dark, new depths. This technology is at the heart of everything players will see, hear, and feel—delivering much higher fidelity and a more engrossing experience. It opens up countless possibilities for the Diablo series, from smooth character animations, such as the Druid’s fluid shapeshifting, to the seamless, vast overworld players will travel across in search of the next loot-filled underground dungeon. Ultimately, Diablo IV will ground players in a grittier and deadlier world.

Diablo IV is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC on June 6, 2023.
