That’s the current set of sourced Diablo milestones. This post is designed to be updated as Blizzard/Activision and other primary sources publish new verified totals.

Methodology

• Prefer primary sources: For Diablo IV launch metrics and “fastest-selling” language, this page uses Activision Blizzard Investor Relations releases and filings.
• Game-level vs. franchise totals: Where Blizzard doesn’t publish an official, current “total players” number for a specific title, this page avoids speculative estimates.
• Third-party measurements are labeled: Diablo Immortal’s first-year mobile revenue figure is sourced to a third-party analytics report (data.ai) via WN Hub and is presented as player spending on iOS/Android only.
