Diablo 4 is officially the fastest-selling Blizzard game of all time, the publisher announced today. Diablo 4 also recorded the highest pre-order unit sales ever on both console and PC.

According to Blizzard's sales data, action RPG Diablo 4 is officially their fastest-selling game of all time. This means Diablo 4 sold more copies since its launch than any other Blizzard game in the same time period. 

This is a staggering achievement given that Blizzard had a rich history of some massive releases like Diablo 3, World of Warcraft and Overwatch . Blizzard also announced that Diablo 4 achieved Blizzard's highest pre-launch unit sales ever on both console and PC .

Since the game launched, players have played Diablo 4 for over 93 million hours, which is over 10,000 years, which is absolutely bonkers. Diablo 4 launched to overwhelmingly positive reviews from both players and critics and it's one of the highest-scoring games this year on Metacritic and Opencritic.
