Blizzard finally attached a figure to it: Emil Salim, lead artist on Diablo Immortal, says roughly 400,000 players log in every day — a level of activity that would put it in contention for Steam’s daily top four.

Fans still remember the barbed question at reveal — “Is this an April Fool’s joke?” Built for mobile and later brought to PC, the free-to-play installment marked a turning point for the franchise, especially among those hoping for a chronological follow-up to Diablo 3. Controversy aside, Immortal continues to draw hundreds of thousands daily, keeping it among Blizzard’s busiest live projects — a tally that, on Steam, would place it near the fourth-most-played slot.

As aggregated by TheGamer, around 400,000 people play Diablo Immortal on mobile every day. That not only underscores the game’s staying power but also puts it in the orbit of the platform’s biggest hits. Caveat: trackers like SteamDB only count users on Valve’s store, so any comparison isn’t strictly one-to-one.

Why Immortal Keeps Growing: Working Hand-in-Hand With Players

In the same interview, Emil Salim credited the title’s endurance to direct, sustained engagement with the community. “I think the game’s current success speaks volumes about the work of the development team. We work closely with our players, listening to their needs and striving to make their wishes come true.” That ongoing dialogue, he said, helped flip the launch-era perception.

Salim also pointed to a relentless update cadence and a willingness to experiment: “The game releases a lot of content, much of which also serves as a way to try new things. We’re not afraid to push the boundaries.” He noted the recent PvP overhaul as one of the community’s most celebrated milestones. The backlog of ideas is large, he added, and prioritizing which to ship first is often the toughest call.

Looking ahead, Diablo Immortal will expand with fresh content and additional playable classes. Without specifics, Salim said numerous updates are already mapped through 2026 — a sign Blizzard still backs the potential of its “least beloved Diablo.”
