According to Neowin , Blizzard Entertainment has announced that the action role-playing game Diablo IV is the fastest-selling game in the publisher's long history. Accordingly, in a new press release, Blizzard announced that Diablo IV has surpassed the revenue milestone of $ 666 million within the first 5 days since its official release on June 6.
Diablo IV is Blizzard's best-selling game of all time.
The $666 million figure is said to be tied to the game’s Hell and Lilith themes. Diablo IV ’s actual sales are likely to be higher than the reported figure. Blizzard says the game remains the company’s best-selling title of all time, both in terms of unit sales and in dollar revenue.
According to Blizzard, Diablo IV is the top game on Amazon’s Twitch platform and has remained there since early access began on June 1. In addition, there are a number of other game-related statistics from the press release, including:
- There have been 76 billion demons killed since early access, which is nearly 35 times the global population.
- Players have been defeated over 316 million times. Over 5 million of those losers were taken down by Butcher.
- Players have gathered with their friends over 166 million times.
- There are 163 players who have reached the maximum level in Hardcore mode.
The game even went down for a few days ago, due to too many players trying to log into the server at the same time.
Notably, Whoopi Goldberg, an Oscar-winning actress and host of The View, has complained to Blizzard for not bringing Diablo IV to the Mac platform. All three previous versions of the game were available on Mac.
