Players invested 8.34B hours into Blizzard titles in 2024, says studio

Blizzard this week released its End-Of-Year Review report, in which it revealed details about how players engaged with its titles in 2024. To that end, it revealed several stats about player accomplishments in its various games, including World of Warcraft, Diablo and Overwatch. According to the studio, players invested around 8.34 billion hours of time in its games total — or about 952,000 years.

Some of the stats are a bit silly, such as the one revealing that Overwatch 2 players spent over 203 years on the game’s new clash maps, or that Diablo IV saw 480 million player deaths. The studio also reveals more sober stats, such as the aforementioned playtime, as well as the $12.3 million it donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation out of the proceeds from its sale of the “Pink Mercy” skin in Overwatch 2.
