gematsu.comDiablo IV has become Blizzard Entertainment‘s fastest-selling game of all time, recording its highest ever pre-launch unit sales on both console and PC, the company announced.
While Diablo IV only officially launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Battle.net today, in the four days since early access began on June 1, the game has been played for over 94 million hours—or over 10,000 years.
“This is a moment years in the making for the Diablo IV team,” said Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson in a press release. “We’re extremely proud to offer players the richest story ever told in a Diablo game. Players have a range of choices, including personal character customization, equipping personalized skills for battling horrific demons, or collecting Legendary loot to support your playstyle while discovering new ones. Since the game was first announced in 2019, the support from millions of players around the world drove us toward this release of our dark vision of Sanctuary. Hail Lilith, Blessed Mother.”
Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra added, “Our vision at Blizzard is to create legendary experiences for all to share, and Diablo IV is an incredible realization of that vision. With highly customizable gameplay, gripping storytelling, and plenty of options around how to engage with the world, this masterfully crafted expression of the Diablo universe is an outstanding example of what our talented development teams are capable of. Whether you’re a veteran of the series or diving into Sanctuary for the first time, we welcome players to the global launch of Diablo IV.”
