Activision Blizzard has a reason to celebrate: Diablo 4 not only receives good reviews but also sells exceptionally well. According to the company, no Blizzard game has sold faster before. We will summarize all the important numbers for you.
Diablo 4 is a new milestone for Blizzard. Officially, Diablo 4 was released on June 6, 2023, but the majority of fans have been playing the long-awaited hack and slash game for a few days now. Buyers of the Ultimate Edition or the Digital Deluxe Edition were able to start playing on June 2, 2023.
And it seems that fans couldn’t wait to slay numerous monsters. A look at the Xbox charts reveals that all three editions of Diablo 4 are at the top of the bestsellers. More on this in this article:
Now Blizzard itself has commented on the game’s success. According to the company, no other Blizzard game has sold as quickly as Diablo 4. While no specific sales figures are mentioned, it can easily be assumed that it has sold several million units. For comparison, Diablo 3 reached over 6.3 million sales in its first week, and Overwatch even reached 7 million.
