Over 20 Million Copies Of Diablo III Sold Since Release
Acitivision has announced that Diablo III continues to perform well. 20 million copies have been sold since the title’s release in 2012, including the Reaper of Souls expansion.
This includes all copies sold on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The number is likely to rise significantly on August 19 and beyond as an updated version, the Ultimate Evil Edition, arrives for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.

Our Take
Given its rough start, Diablo III has performed admirably. The latest changes along with a substantial expansion have brought fans back into the fold. I expect that the Ultimate Evil Edition will perform well and earn a number of double-dip purchases.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
