How can I participate in the Diablo 2 Resurrected Open Beta?
The Diablo 2 Resurrected Open Beta is open to anyone who wants to participate. PC players can pre-load Open Beta via Battle.net beginning on August 18, while console players can pre-load Open Beta on August 17 via their respective store pages (Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store).
The Open Beta does have controller support, but it is still under development. Blizzard improved allocating skills on a controller, viewable in the patch notes, and will likely improve on this more prior to launch.
