Diablo Immortal earned $24 million during its first two weeks of availability

Despite some controversy over the microtransactions present in the game, Diablo Immortal appears to be a monetary hit for Activision Blizzard.

According to AppMagic data obtained by Pocket Gamer (thanks, GI.biz), since its June 2 release on mobile, the game has been downloaded almost 8.5 million times and players have spent $24 million on in-game transactions.

The revenue is split almost equally between Apple’s App Store and Android, with $13 million and $11.3 million earned through the respective stores.

Broken down by region, Japan accounted for 8% of total spending, Germany 6%, and Canada 3%, with the US (43%) and Korea (23%) making up the majority of money spent. The game is not currently available in Belgium or the Netherlands due to the game’s use of loot boxes.

While microtransactions are a sore point with many players, another annoying issue has been brought up PC players. It seems instead of a nice PC game, something Blizzard is known for, it looks and plays like a ‘mobile port’ and is considered by some to be a low effort on Blizzard’s part – especially when it comes to KBM controls. Hopefully, this will be something the studio will tweak in future patches.
