Is Diablo 4 Coming to Xbox Game Pass?

With the Microsoft buyout of Activision Blizzard seemingly slowly creeping forward. We might see Diablo 4 on Xbox Game Pass sooner rather than later.

So, is Diablo 4 coming to Xbox Game Pass? Short answer, no. At least, not for now. Well, let’s take a closer look anyway and see what we can do.

Is Diablo 4 Coming to Xbox Game Pass

For the long term, we at least know Microsoft Gaming CEO, Phil Spencer is keen on the idea ” “We intend to make Activision Blizzard’s much-loved library of games – including Overwatch, Diablo, and Call of Duty – available in Game Pass and to grow those gaming communities.”

Though, right now, it’s still a no. Rod Ferguson, GM of the Diablo brand at Blizzard Entertainment said that they have “no plans” to release on Xbox Game Pass at release. So, it won’t be on Xbox Game Pass for launch, but that could easily change in future.

As recently as March 13, Rod Fergusson took to Twitter to once again confirm the bad news:

“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!”

The Microsoft Take of Activision Blizzard

Now, this will likely change things. It might be years away… but it will probably see Diablo 4 head to Xbox Game Pass on Xbox and PC. For now, the deal has been approved by China, the EU, and South Africa. However, the shock here is that the UK has rejected it. Activision Blizzard have no appealed that move. However, it’ll likely be locked down in corporate nonsense for at least a year.

If any of this changes in the near future, we’ll be sure to update this post with any new developments.
