diablo 4 sales

Diablo 4 has performed incredibly well for Blizzard, with the new action RPG game reaching a total of $666 million in sales in its first five days, a seriously impressive number even by AAA standards. The game was revealed to be Blizzard’s fastest-selling game of all time just last week.

To give a similar comparison, the highly successful Hogwarts Legacy game released last February reached $1 billion in sales last May, three months after release. It also out-grossed the worldwide box office for all 2023 horror films combined.

Alongside the major sales achievement, Blizzard also revealed some interesting stats pertaining to Diablo 4. Here’s all of them via the press release Bizz sent out:

  • 276 billion total monsters killed since launch
  • 317 million player deaths (…time to git gud)
  • 276 million total hours played since early access (that’s more than 30,000 years, or enough time to watch everything on YouTube with 13,500 years to spare)
  • More 166 million player parties created (party on!)
  • 5.8 million total deaths served by The Butcher
  • 430,000 players killed in PvP battle
  • No. 1 on Twitch from early access on June 1 through June 9, breaking previous Blizzard records for hours streamed and watched over a similar period

It’s not surprising for Diablo 4 do to so well on Twitch given its popularity during the various beta tests. The game also has a total of 276 million hours played thus far (counting early access), and 317 million player deaths, among a few other interesting numbers.

Diablo 4 just recently got a hotfix for bosses, PvP, and dungeons. You can read more about it here.

Over $666 million in the first five days is a very impressive accomplishment and milestone. I’ve played Hogwarts Legacy as well, and hope they add quidditch dlc.
