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".
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. The company reckons over 93m hours of Diablo 4 have been played across the first four days, equating to over 10,000 years - or, as Blizzard puts it, the equivalent of one person"playing 24 hours a day since the beginning of human civilisation".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.
