Do we still need to remember that Diablo IV officially released today? The action role-playing game of Blizzard just launched on PC, playstation And Xbox on June 6, 2023, but it had already been playable for four days for fans who had opted for the editions Deluxe Or Ultimate. And THE hack’n slash already panics the counters.
Since the launch of the early access of Diablo IV, players have already accumulated 93 million hours of play, “that’s more than 10,000 years, which is equivalent to playing 24 hours a day since the beginning of human civilization”. Yes, it’s huge, the players are numerous and have played for a long time, it must be said that the title is terribly addictive, Blizzard goes even further in the comparison to show us what 93 million hours really represent.
- Slay like Tay : instead of killing (demons), they could have listened to the entire Taylor Swift discography 4.5 million times or made it to each stop on the Eras Tour over 500,000 times.
- Do not miss : In that time frame, players could have watched the entire Fast & Furious movie series 4 million times.
- That’s a lot of content : Gamers could have watched all of the content on the new Max service nearly 3,000 times, more than half of everything currently on YouTube.
- A global dimension : As an example, the time spent on Diablo IV in early access is equivalent to one hour of play per inhabitant of Los Angeles, London, New York, Seoul, Sydney and Tokyo.
- To the Red Planet and Beyond : they could have made Mark Watney jealous by going back and forth to Mars nearly 10,000 times.
- sin to win : Instead of sinning like Lilith, players could have read the Bible over 1.5 million times.
- It’s a marathon, not a sprint : That would be roughly equivalent to everyone in Mexico City completing a marathon.
