Diablo IV's open beta minimum and recommended PC specifications have been revealed by Blizzard as part of a beta-focused livestream. Note that these are the beta system requirements and not for the finished game, so some of these specifications could change when the full version of game launches.

Blizzard notes that Diablo IV will "attempt to run on hardware below minimum specifications, including HDDs, dual-core CPUS, and integrated GPUs. However, the game experience may be significantly diminished."
