Blizzard seems pretty chuffed with the response to Diablo 4, and is now trumpeting the fact that, not only have players cumulatively already racked up over 10,000 years of play time, Diablo 4 is also the company’s “fastest-selling game of all time”.
As for Blizzard’s claim Diablo 4 is its “fastest-selling game of all time”, that’s a little more nebulous given the company hasn’t shared any specific sales data yet.
– or, as Blizzard puts it, the equivalent of one person “playing 24 hours a day since the beginning of human civilisation”.
Blizzard is calculating those impressive-sounding play time figures based on the number of in-game hours players have accrued since 1st June, the date when Diablo 4 entered “early access” for those willing to pay extra for the privilege.
