Diablo IV is Blizzard’s fastest-selling game to date

Diablo IV is Blizzard Entertainment’s fastest-selling game ever. Although no sales figures have been shared, the record is said to have been set based on pre-order figures. It has never happened that Blizzard released a game on so many platforms at the same time.

Although no exact figures have been shared, the developer has never sold so many games in the pre-order phase, looking at sales on both PC and all consoles. In a press release published by Business Wire Blizzard says that the dungeon crawler has been played for 96 million hours since its limited release on June 1, or almost 11,000 years. Gamers who purchased the Digital Deluxe or Ultimate edition of the game received access on that day, while the release of the standard version took place on the night of June 5 to 6.

Diablo IV is available for PC, Xbox Series It has also never happened that a game from the American company was released on so many platforms at the same time. Only Overwatch 2 was also released at once on the mentioned platforms. That game had more than 25 million players within the first ten days, but in that case it concerned player numbers of a free-to-play shooter and therefore not actual sales figures.
