Diablo IV players are reporting issues with the game’s serversPlayStation
DownDetector data shows a spike of issue reports at 6pm this evening, with hundreds more flooding in by the hour.
One gamer tweeted: “So far, around one hour in a queue, played five whole minutes, went to a cave, loading screen for 15 minutes – game crashed.”
Another added: “It’s actually so funny that you can’t even play the new season, you’re either stuck in a loading screen or in a queue.
“I didn’t think it could get any worse.”
Diablo, an online fantasy role-playing game, made its hotly anticipated debut in June to “favourable reviews“.
The aim is for players to create a character and complete a number of quests bound together by a main plot.
Characters can be upgraded throughout with currency won through combat or looting.
The story continues the narrative of previous installments, with a battle raging between angels and demons in a struggle for the fate of the world.
The game was the fastest-selling title ever for its publishers Blizzard Entertainment and raked in over £400 million in its first five days after launch.
