Don’t Worry, Call of Duty and Diablo 4 Aren’t Broken – It’s Scheduled Maintenance


Like many popular titles and platforms used by millions of players, routine maintenance is occasionally necessary. This is currently happening with games like Call of Duty and Diablo 4 on their PC versions, where it has been announced that the Battle Net platform will undergo scheduled maintenance for the entire launcher. 

So, if you’re wondering if these games are down, the short answer is no; they are just undergoing routine maintenance for about 4 hours. After that, players will be able to enjoy these titles again as usual.

Like any live service game that constantly receives updates and patches, studios occasionally prefer to take the game offline for extensive routine maintenance. In the past, studios have even closed massive titles like Fortnite for several days to anticipate a new update without active players. Now that Blizzard’s Battle.net platform is going through the same thing. Players won’t be able to access their favorite games.

Recently, many players were searching online to see if games like Call of Duty or Diablo 4 were down because they couldn’t access them. However, Blizzard revealed that scheduled maintenance will prevent user access to the PC platform hosting these games for 4 hours. Therefore, any fans wanting to play will have to wait a bit; there will be only four or more hours to access these titles.

Blizzard, now a part of Microsoft, officially announced on social media and in numerous well-known media outlets that Battle.net would undergo scheduled maintenance. However, these games, like the previously mentioned ones, will not be playable from 6:30 a.m. PT to 10 a.m. today. The rest of the world can access the platform and games without issue, but this maintenance will only affect the US.

The maintenance will also impact all available titles on the platform, rendering Overwatch 2, the previous Diablo games, and other games unplayable until their completion. Players can rest assured that their progress and saved games will remain unaffected, as the studio is simply carrying out routine maintenance to enhance the platform’s performance and ensure a positive user experience for the community.

Activision Blizzard is working hard on launching the next Call of Duty game, which will be Black Ops 6. This title will introduce a spectacle story mode, and fans are hopeful that the franchise will return to the quality it once had. This game will be released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PC, and Game Pass on October 25th. After the acquisition, it will be the first title in this saga to release entirely under Microsoft’s ownership.
