When Will Diablo IV Come To Xbox Game Pass?
Microsoft and Activision Blizzard are officially merged, and that means new games are coming to Game Pass in 2024.
Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is finished. With it, the Xbox brand has grown its gaming catalog with some of the biggest titles in the industry, including the Diablo series. But does that mean Diablo IV is coming to Xbox Game Pass?
After nearly a year of legal issues and regulatory blocks, the Activision Blizzard acquisition by Microsoft has finally been completed. This is great news for Xbox and PC Game Pass subscribers, as it means that Microsoft can put a ton of games on the service. It’s just a question of timing, as there’s no rush to put everything on at once, as Microsoft can gradually bolster the Game Pass line-up with titles.
