Blizzard says buying Diablo 4 items may be the company’s fastest-selling game in history. Although, this milestone has some caveats.
While Blizzard didn’t provide any specific sales numbers, Diablo 4 continues to be played for 93 million hours since its early access launch on June 1.
“This is really a moment year within the making for the Diablo 4 team,” said Rod Fergusson, Diablo general manager, in a statement. “We’re extremely proud to provide players the richest story ever told inside a Diablo game.”
He continued: “Since the sport was first announced in 2019, the support from an incredible number of players all over the world drove us toward this discharge of our dark vision of Sanctuary. Hail Lilith, Blessed Mother.”
It’s once more worth noting that Diablo 4 continues to be out for four days before its official release date of June 6. So Blizzard is presumably counting sales from early access members along with day-one purchases from everybody else.
The previous record holder with this feat within Blizzard was the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands expansion with 3.7 million units in love with its first full day on PC. However, Diablo 4 was launched on multiple platforms.
Diablo 4 also currently has two expansions within the works. In IGN’s Diablo 4 review, we said, “Diablo 4 takes the process of refining things the series already accomplished it well instead of giving it a far more substantial overhaul, which careful and reverent path has shaped this massive sequel into probably the most polished ARPGs ever created, making slicing with the legions from the damned a hell of the good time.”
