Diablo 4players are criticizing how the game doesn’t let them see statistics about their profile, such as playtime, dungeons cleared, and other things. This info was readily available inDiablo 3, and severalDiablo 4players are missing this simple feature.
Blizzard releasedDiablo 4almost exactly one month ago, on June 5th. Available on PC and PlayStation and Xbox consoles, the multiplayer action RPG sees players on a quest to save the ironically-named world of Sanctuary from the machinations of the demon Lilith.Diablo 4saw overall positive reviews, with particular praise going to the story, atmosphere, and visual design. While it’s not above criticism, many seeDiablo 4as a step up from its predecessor.

However, there are a few areas where the new game feels like its features have been stripped out. As Reddit user Sardoron points out, this includesDiablo 4’s lack of a Profile Viewer. A feature of 2012’sDiablo 3, the Profile Viewer allowed players to see various statistics about how they play the game. This includes the user’s overall playtime, playtime by class, dungeons cleared, elite enemies slain, information about each of their characters, and other stats. It also lets players compare their stats with their friends.
While these player statistics aren’t necessarily vital information, they are nice to have, and it is understandable that someDiablo 4players might miss it. Sardoron also isn’t the onlyDiablo 4player to feel this way, as evidenced by the top comment under their post. As user BoldWarSeer pointed out, while it’s good to be patient and that such features will probably arrive eventually, it’s frustrating thatBlizzard omitted such a feature fromDiablo 4.
The inability of players to view their statistics isn’t the only criticism players have ofDiablo 4’s interface. As the post’s comments show, the lack of side quest tracking is an even bigger issue for some players than the missing stats screen.
It’s also odd, considering Blizzard has access to at least some of this information. The game is always online, and Blizzard recently shared some very detailed stats aboutDiablo 4. A week after the game’s release, the studio published how many hours players spent in the game, the number of player deaths, andDiablo 4’s most popular class. Now, Blizzard just needs to add a system for players to view some of the data for themselves.
Diablo 4is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
