Despite a successful launch, Diablo 4 is hemorrhaging players just a few weeks into the game’s first season, as interest in the game has fallen due to some disappointing seasonal content, some poorly received changes, and one standout competitor.
While Blizzard does not directly release player count numbers, many third-party sites do their own tracking, and virtually all of the major ones indicate a substantial drop off in Diablo 4 player numbers. According to data on ActivePlayer.io, the average player daily count has dropped from over one million at the end of July to just 400K over the past 300 days, with the game supposedly losing 122K monthly players over the same timeframe. MMO-Population.com also displays a drop-off in player numbers.
