Diablo 4 Announced For Game Pass; Coming Next Month

Expert Verified By

Diablo 4 Arrives March 28!

Story Highlight
  • Xbox is finally bringing Activision Blizzard titles to Game Pass.
  • The first game is Diablo 4, and it arrives on March 28.
  • There is still no update regarding the Call of Duty franchise. 

Recent rumors caused an uproar among the Xbox community. While it was claimed that exclusives like Hi-Fi Rush and Starfield would launch on rival hardware, Xbox has confirmed this is not the case.

Similarly, Microsoft cleared doubts about its hardware being abandoned completely, teasing next-generation consoles. The gaming giant has also provided an update on Activision Blizzard games, confirming Diablo 4 for Game Pass.

Why it matters: Many fans were concerned about Microsoft potentially excluding Activision Blizzard’s games from the service after recent reports, but this instance shows that the gaming giant remains committed to its promise.

Diablo 4 arrives on the service on March 28. This title was a major success for Activision Blizzard last year, making over $666 million during the first week. It also became Blizzard’s fastest-selling game.

Still, Microsoft did not address the subject of Call of Duty on Game Pass. The gaming giant may not have decided on this franchise yet since it now holds the potential to change Xbox’s future as we know it.

Each Call of Duty is a major annual release. The IP’s success is unparalleled in the industry, making its inclusion in Game Pass a tough decision for Microsoft.

Therefore, the most awaited decision after the merger is yet to be given. Fans might have to wait a bit longer for the decision, but we expect at least the older games to arrive on the service sooner or later.

Xbox has heavily benefited from the merger so far. With record revenue last quarter, the gaming giant is set to target growth for its subscription through the publisher next.

Game Pass is already the industry’s leading subscription service. However, with big names like Diablo 4 added to its offerings, 2024 is shaping up to be the most important year for Microsoft’s most significant offering.
