Diablo 4 will not be available on Game Pass at launch, despite Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
Microsoft is in the process of acquiring Activision Blizzard, the publisher and developer of diablo iv. While this might suggest that diablo iv could launch day one on Game Pass, similar to other first-party titles, there are currently no plans for this to happen. This decision may be influenced by the ongoing acquisition issues or could indicate a shift in Microsoft's strategy for future first-party game releases on the service.
Therefore, to play diablo iv at launch, you will need to purchase it. The game supports cross-platform play but does not offer cross-buy, meaning you must purchase separate versions if you intend to play on multiple platforms.
Editions and Pre-order Bonuses:
- Pre-ordering diablo iv grants access to the Beta, an exclusive mount, and other bonuses.
- Purchasing the Deluxe or Ultimate Editions provides early access to the game four days before the official launch.
- The Ultimate Edition includes the exclusive "Wings of the Creator" Emote.
