After a record-breaking beta, Diablo 4 was supposed to be huge, and it swiftly produced over $600 million in revenue.
The gaming giant has officially revealed its financial earnings report, which confirms the huge popularity of the latest Diablo installment. According to the statistics, over ten million people have played Diablo 4.
Why it matters: Diablo 4 is the franchise’s first big entry since Diablo 3 in 2013. This made it a significant release for Blizzard and fans of the franchise.
The game delivered on its promises and impressed fans after months of expectation. It has earned high critical acclaim, and its success has helped the title become the studio’s fastest-selling title.
Diablo 4 is still in its early stages because it is based on a live service model. The developer has guaranteed multiple seasons of post-launch content, the first of which will be available on July 20. Fans can also expect a lot of cosmetic DLC.
A recent poster teased the game’s inclusion in Xbox Game Pass. While this was swiftly disproven, the game could be published on subscription once Microsoft acquires Activision Blizzard in October.
This would allow the game to have another successful run, attracting millions of new subscribers from the subscription service.
Diablo 4 will also be one of the best-selling games in 2023, according to this figure. While titles such as Tears of the Kingdom and Hogwarts Legacy have sold 10 million copies in a relatively short period of time, the Diablo franchise has shown to be no slouch either.
