World of Warcraft
Clear answers on WoW Forever beta access, system requirements, supported languages and graphics settings.
WoW Forever’s minimum specs are Windows 10 64-bit, a 4-core CPU, a 4 GB DirectX 12 GPU and 8 GB of RAM, with 128 GB free on an SSD. It runs on Windows and Mac only, and you can already install it from the Battle.net app.
WoW Forever isn’t on Blizzard’s Realm Status page yet, so outage news comes from Blizzard’s support accounts on X and Bluesky. Servers open November 4 at 3:00 p.m. PST. Stuck in the login queue? Keep the client open: quitting or disconnecting costs you your spot.
The Epic Pack, Collection and Collector’s Edition guaranteed WoW Forever beta access; opt-in did not. The test cap was 30 and the last build came October 8. The beta closed October 23 at 10:00 a.m. PDT; launch is November 4.
Classic and Enhanced presets can be changed later. Skyborne SD character models and Druid forms are still in development for early 2027; HD form texture updates are arriving separately through beta builds.
WoW Forever is realmless but still split by region, and WoW has no cross-region play. You're placed in your home region based on where you live, and playing elsewhere means a separate account and license.
The Battle.net Shop lists 10 languages for WoW Forever: English (US/EU), Spanish (Latin America/EU), Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Russian, Korean and Traditional Chinese. Italian, Polish and Turkish aren't included.
