Diablo 4 was officially released today and if you're planning to give it a whirl, you should anticipate the game's servers to be a little rocky.
IGN's sister site, Downdetector.com, has been sharing user-reported outages for the game's servers, but these issues aren't entirely new. Players have reported problems with Diablo 4 since its early access release five days ago. PlayStation 5 players that preordered the $90 Digital Deluxe Edition or the $100 Ultimate Edition reported a day after the early access release that an "Invalid License" error was locking them out.
Players were also having wide login issues last night, although Blizzard said in a tweet this morning that those issues were resolved.
For help with everything Diablo 4, take a look at our Diablo 4 Walkthrough and Guide. Our experts recommend you start here:
The sever problems haven't stopped Diablo 4 from becoming a runaway hit for Blizzard, as the company confirmed that Diablo 4 become its fastest-selling game of all time. They also noted that Diablo 4 players have clocked in 93 million hours, though Blizzard did not specifically disclose how many copies were sold.
In our review of Diablo 4, which we awarded a 9/10, we said Diablo 4 "is a stunning sequel with a near perfect endgame and progression design that makes it absolutely excruciating to put down."
Of course, if you manage to not encounter any server issues for Diablo 4 today and you are looking to track your progress as you play, check out our interactive Diablo 4 map.
