Diablo 4 Twitch drops are here alongside the proper launch of the action RPG. Starting today, June 5, you'll be able to tune into Twitch streams and build progress toward exclusive cosmetics for your favorite class.

In addition to watching streams for a set amount of hours to earn weapon skins, you can also gift subscriptions to a list of supported influencers to earn the Primal Instinct mount.

To receive any of these rewards, you first need to have your Battle.net account linked to your Twitch account. It's an easy process that just requires you to sign in over on the connection page for Battle.net. Once you have that linked together, you'll be able to claim the rewards and use them in the game. The blog post notes that you can even earn the rewards if you don't own the game, yet, too.

To pick up the Primal Instinct mount from the "support a streamer" part of the event, you need to gift two subscriptions of any tier for one of these specific Twitch channels. Here's the exact times that you need to do gift a subscription within:

  • Start: June 5 at 4 pm PDT / End: July 2 11:59 pm PDT
  • Start: June 5 at 7 pm EDT / End: July 3 2:59 am EDT
  • Start: June 6 at 12 am BST / End: July 2 7:59 am BST
  • Start: June 6 at 9 am AEST / End: July 2 4:59 pm AEST

The weekly Diablo 4 Twitch drops are broken up by class. Week 1 provides cosmetic rewards for Rogue and Necromancer, while the second week is focused on Sorcerer, for example. If you don't care about some of the classes, you only have to pay attention to the week you need to watch Diablo 4 streams to earn the rewards.

All you need to do is watch any stream under the Diablo 4 category to earn the rewards, and remember that once you've watched three hours, you have to go into your Twitch inventory and claim the first reward to earn time for the six hour one.

Here's how this all breaks down:

Week 1: Rogue and Necromancer (June 5 4 pm PDT - June 11 11:59 pm PDT)
