Diablo IV is not coming to Xbox Game Pass

Diablo IV is the next big game set to come from Activision Blizzard, and while the acquisition by Microsoft has yet to go through, fans were beginning to wonder whether the upcoming ARPG would find its way on Xbox’s Game Pass service. Unfortunately – though unsurprisingly – this will not be the case.

Releasing a statement via Twitter, Rod Fergusson, the General Manager for Diablo explained to fans: “It's awesome seeing the excitement around the Diablo IV Beta, and our Wolf Pack puppy! We’ve been getting some questions about D4 on Game Pass and I want to let you know we have no plans for that. See you in Sanctuary during the Beta Early Access weekend starting on March 17!”

Though it was perhaps a stretch to expect Diablo IV to come to Game Pass Day-One (especially with the ongoing legalese surrounding the acquisition) what we have seen of Diablo IV seems to justify its price tag. That said, should the acquisition go through, Diablo IV will almost definitely make its way onto Microsoft’s subscription service. We will have to wait and see what becomes of the acquisition.
