Why are Diablo IV servers down?

The servers for Diablo IV can be down for any number of reasons. Most likely, the servers have been taken down for an update or patch. Blizzard typically announces when this happens to give players a heads-up. Another reason is that too many players may try to log in at once, causing the servers to be overwhelmed. An instance like this can occur when a big update drops.

Occasionally, other issues may cause Diablo IV's servers to be down. One such example is the launch of Diablo IV's delay of Season of Blood. With things like this, it may take some time for servers to be restored. Until they are, you cannot play Diablo IV since it requires an online connection, even if you want to play solo.
