Activision Blizzard said on Wednesday that over 10 million players “experienced” Diablo 4 during its launch month.

The game was released on June 5 for PC and consoles and is the World of Warcraft studio’s fastest-selling title to date, according to its publisher.

“As of the end of the second quarter, Diablo IV had sold-through more units than any other Blizzard title at an equivalent stage of release,” it said in its second quarter earnings report.

Diablo 4’s release drove a record three months for the Blizzard business segment, which delivered its first $1 billion net bookings quarter. During the three-month period ended on June 30, Blizzard revenue grew over 160% year-over-year and operating income more than tripled year-over-year, each setting new quarterly records, according to Activision. Players logged over 700 million hours of Diablo 4 game time in June, “and retention trends for the title are particularly strong”, it added.
