Get ready, brave adventurers, because Diablo 4is charging onto Xbox Game Pass on March 28 - the first time an Activision Blizzard title is joining the subscription service since Microsoft's monumental acquisition last year.
While fans initially expected a swift deluge of Activision Blizzard titles, Microsoft's approach is more gradual and measured.
Diablo 4
, critically acclaimed upon its original release last year, is taking the lead, offering its thrilling action RPG experience to Game Pass' 34 million subscribers.
This addition isn't just a win for Game Pass players. Diablo 4 itself stands to benefit from the surge in accessibility, potentially reigniting its player base with an influx of fresh faces.
Blizzard originally launched Diablo 4 across multiple platforms, including the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, and later added to Steam, marking a rare Blizzard title's presence on Valve's platform. Diablo 4's journey to Game Pass will come with all prior updates and balance changes, ensuring new players receive the most refined version of the game. However, it was noted that previous seasonal cosmetics and challenges would not be part of the Game Pass offering.
