Diablo 4 Reached A Record-Breaking $666M In Sales In Just Five Days
Diablo 4 continues to make waves following its highly anticipated launch last week. The studio reports that the game raked in a record-breaking $666 million in global sales in its first five days, making it Blizzard’s best-selling opening of all time.
The development team expressed their gratitude to fans by sharing some interesting statistics about player activity since the game’s launch. One notable statistic revealed that players have collectively slain an impressive 2.7 billion demons since the game’s Early Access phase. On the flip side, players themselves have faced the perils of Sanctuary, experiencing over 316 million deaths. The notorious Butcher claimed the lives of over 5 million players to date and 163 players have achieved the prestigious milestone of reaching level 100 in Hardcore mode.
To commemorate the successful launch and to thank players for their support, the dev team will be hosting their first Campfire Chat on June 16th. The livestream event will offer players an opportunity to engage with the development team, gain insights into the game’s development, and provide feedback. It will mark the multiplayer ARPG’s first major post-launch event and is aimed at fostering community interaction and giving players a glimpse into what lies ahead.
The Campfire Chat will kick off at 11:00 a.m. PST on the Diablo Twitch and YouTube channels. Players can expect to several notable devs in attendance, including General Manager Rod Fergusson, Game Director Joe Shely, Associate Production Director Tiffany Wat, and Associate Director of Community Adam Fletcher.
the Diablo 4 team has more surprises in store for the community this week, including a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Lilith music video featuring singer Halsey and Suga of BTS. The video will be making its global premiere at 7:00 a.m. PST later today.
