Diablo 4 reaches impressive new milestones, and they show the result of players’ reception to the latest content added by Blizzard.
Diablo 4 has set a new record for active players on Steam and has become the second-most-played game on Steam Deck at the time of publication. The Diablo 4 community has been experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions since the game’s release in June last year, going through good and bad times.
The first Diablo 4 season was marked as one of the most divisive episodes of the game’s first year, leaving players largely dissatisfied with the update and the live-service elements. Blizzard’s action RPG subsequently experienced problems with bugs, controversial monetization, and a community frustrated by the absence of certain features or the general direction of the game. Months later, with the release of Season 4, Diablo 4 started its comeback, revitalizing the player experience by introducing features such as a major change in itemization.
