During the first week, the developers of Diablo IV released statistics regarding the game

It has been a full week since the official release of Diablo IV, and the developers have decided to share the complete statistics regarding this period.

Blizzard has noted that the new game has become the "fastest-selling" project in the company's history. Diablo IV sales surpassed the $666 million mark in less than a week after release.

To better understand this achievement, let's compare it to last year's successes of Activision Blizzard. For example, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II from Activision became the most profitable game of last year, earning $1 billion in just the first 10 days after launch. Overwatch 2 from Blizzard attracted the attention of 25 million players within 10 days of its release.

In addition to these impressive Blizzard figures, the developers have also shared player statistics for the first week of the game. Here are some numbers accumulated during this time:

• 276 billion monsters have been slain.
• There have been 317 million player deaths.
• Players have spent over 276 million hours in the game since early access, equivalent to over 30,000 years.
• More than 166 million gaming sessions have been created.
• The Butcher, a unique boss that randomly appears when players explore dungeons throughout Sanctuary, has caused the deaths of 5.8 million players.
• 430,000 players have perished in PvP battles.
• 6,263 players have already reached level 100.
• 163 players have reached level 100 in Hardcore mode.

As for the most popular class, it turned out to be the Sorcerer/Sorceress, as hinted by Rod Ferguson beforehand. It's worth noting that currently, Diablo IV offers five playable classes, including the Sorcerer/Sorceress, Barbarian, Necromancer, Rogue, and Druid.
