Update: 10:15pm, 26th January. Eurogamer understands that an initial description of Diablo 4 as Blizzard's best-selling game of all time was written in error. The LinkedIn bio in question was referring to the previously established fact that Diablo 4 is Blizzard's fastest-selling title ever.

Diablo 4, released in June 2023, continues to be cited by Blizzard and observers as the studio's quickest-selling launch, having set internal records for speed of sales and early player engagement. The brief miswording on a staff LinkedIn profile prompted some reports suggesting it had become Blizzard's best-selling game overall; those reports have since been corrected.

The clarification restores focus to the known milestone: Diablo 4 achieved record-breaking initial performance for Blizzard without any confirmed claim that it has outsold every other Blizzard title across lifetime sales. Further context and reporting on the incident are available in the original Eurogamer piece.
