UPDATE JUNE 8 (19:15 ET)
It looks like after over 2.5 hours of outages, the servers are slowly coming back online. However, some players are reporting losing 30 minutes of game progress. We hope no epic loot got lost in the Diablopocalypse!
UPDATE JUNE 8 (18:28 ET)
Blizzard has updated their Customer Service Twitter with"We’ve reduced login rates in order to alleviate pressure on the servers. Players will see extended login queues while the work is ongoing.“Players are currently reporting queues of over 1000 minutes.
It’s finally happened,Diablo 4has gone down. Despite a pretty smooth launch both in Early Access and full release on June 6, earlier I was booted out of my game and back to the main menu. To find my character gone! Deleted!
I’m not the only one, thousands of players took to social media to cry out about losing all of their characters. Don’t worry though, we’ll sure it will be fixed shortly.Meanwhile, we are all waiting together in the endless queue. Some are receiving queue times of 1 minute only to be booted out and given an error message, some are quoting times of 60 minutes and up.
What does error code 300202 mean?
After waiting in the queue, you may see the message ‘There was a problem logging in’ (Code 300202). Don’t worry, other players are getting the same error message and it seems linked to the server issues.
What does error code 300008 mean?
Again error 300008 is an error message related to timing out from the server queue, and related to the current widespread issues. Check ourknown Diablo 4 bugs listif you’ve experienced any other issues with Diablo 4.
It looks like the problem is worldwide, as those watching Twitch for theirloot dropsare just watching streams of the login error.Some initially on the Diablo 4 support forums stated it was only European servers affected, and only the Blizzard EU account acknowledged the issue at first, stating they were investigating it. However, from a cursory glance across Twitch and Twitter it looked like the issue was more widespread.

Diablo 4 is already thefastest-selling Blizzard gameof all time, outperforming its predecessor Diablo 3, so it’s no surprise the servers are under pressure. What is a surprise however is that it’s taken this long, as the initial launch day and early access period were relatively smooth and free of issue.

We’ll update as the situation unfolds, but so far the queues are only getting longer, the above player reporting a 400 minute wait. Perhaps it’s time to go download and play Diablo 3?
Diablo 4 is available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC… if you can log in.
