The recently released Diablo 4 has generated more than $666 million in sales in its first five days on sale.

That's according to publisher Activision Blizzard, which has reiterated that this is the company's fastest-selling game ever. Players have already spent over 276 million hours in Diablo 4.

Blizzard also points to high interest on streaming platforms such as Twitch, where Diablo 4 was the No.1 title between June 1st and 9th. 

“On behalf of Blizzard, we want to thank the millions of players around the world who are immersing themselves in Diablo IV,” Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra said.

“Diablo 4 is a result of our incredible teams working together to craft and support genre-defining games, build legendary worlds, and inspire memories that will last a lifetime. We’re humbled by the response, proud of the team, and remain committed to listening to our players and ensuring Diablo continues to exceed expectations for years to come.”
