Is Diablo 4 on Game Pass? Xbox reveals it's coming this March

Diablo 4 will be the first Activision Blizzard game to arrive on the service, with more Activision Blizzard games to follow.

It's barely been 9 months, I think that's legit.

Obscure_Observer71d ago

"better late than never."

How? We´ve been told that *no* ABK game would make its way over to Gamepass. XD

2024 just got even more incredible for Xbox gamers!

We´ll continue to get BIG AAA first party and third party games Day One on Gamepass despite of all doom and gloom BS!

Phil had delusional fanboys slapped hard today!

Delusional?? The irony. LMAO!

GamerRN71d ago

Who said no ABK game would come to GamePass? We were told they wouldn't come in 2023. I expect all first party games to still be on GamePass, otherwise the value is about to disappear.

*** How? We´ve been told that *no* ABK game would make its way over to Gamepass. XD ***

Who has been telling you this? More windmills for arguments sake here? Are you just choosing the lowest common denominator of arguments to make yours look better? That's like arguing against the thoughts of a troll, you're going nowhere and they're winning by playing that game.

Of course 'Every. Single. ABK. Game. Will. Go. To. Game. Pass.' Why the heck wouldn't they?

*** Phil had delusional fanboys slapped hard today! ***

Wow, you met him and that's how he treated you? Ouch. Sorry about that.

InUrFoxHole71d ago

You sound mad. Xbox and Phil are rocking it.

***You sound mad. Xbox and Phil are rocking it. ***

I don't know how to respond to this attempt to create yet another imaginary conflict/opponent. I literally agree with Obscure about more big AAA first party games Day One on Game Pass, and that makes me mad?

*Diablo 4’s Hellish Microtransactions Go From Bad to Worse With $65 Horse Bundle That Costs More Than the Game Itself

It's ok though because they'll be dropping the $100? expansion this yr
smh

Christopher71d ago

With their ridiculous MTX costs, it should have been F2P out of the gate.

thesoftware73071d ago

You mean the completely cosmetic MTX? That affects my gameplay 0%

SMH.

What about Helldiver's 2, that game has MTX that actually affects gameplay...Foamstars has MTX as well, do you also think Helldiver's 2 should be F2P?

Christopher71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

***You mean the completely cosmetic MTX? That affects my gameplay 0% ***

MTX isn't about use, it's about taking advantage of FOMO-prone personalities.

*** What about Helldiver's 2, that game has MTX that actually affects gameplay...Foamstars has MTX as well, do you also think Helldiver's 2 should be F2P? ***

Yes.

Next?

GamerRN71d ago

These people are ridiculous... The cosmetic only mtx are fine. They affect NOTHING gameplay wise. It's all about flex

Christopher71d ago

***The cosmetic only mtx are fine. They affect NOTHING gameplay wise.***

When put in as part of battle passes, they purposefully elongate the time and/or purposefully put in difficulty barriers to achieve said goals to encourage players to spend money. This affects every player as it affects their gameplay design goals overall, which are not focused on improvements but methods to redirect people towards spending money.

thesoftware73071d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Oh so now cosmetic MTX is the exact same as actual gameplay altering MTX! Lmao, that is the first time I can recall someone taking such a silly stance just to attempt to hide their bias.

Let me show you the difference as FOMO is in fact not the same. Let's say I buy a purely cosmetic MTX because, I personally like it. It changes nothing really, I will still have to play as skillfully as any non funky clothes wearing person. Now, let's say I can't get past a level or boss in a game, oh, they are selling the super duper, 50 megaton no reload needed gun for $10? I buy it, nuke the level with ease...I just Paid to win. If you can't see the huge, gigantic different in that, you need to open them peepers.

Ok, please show me where you promoted that Helldivers 2 should be free.

Next is your logic, intentions, motivation, argument is bias, stinks, and, also clear as day. It's borderline ridiculous, the bad part is you are aware of it.

You are the "say anything" type of guy I see.

***Oh so now cosmetic MTX is the exact same as actual gameplay altering MTX! Lmao, that is the first time I can recall someone taking such a silly stance just to attempt to hide their bias. ***

Didn't say this. I explained how cosmetic MTX affects gameplay.

*** Ok, please show me where you promoted that Helldivers 2 should be free. ***

That's literally my first comment about Helldivers 2 ever. And it's to say it should be F2P.

It's already getting the GP treatment. This means it undersold.

Retro198671d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Smart move. More people will play it and more people will buy cosmetics. I wont buy cosmetics, but i will play it now 😊 until PoE 2 arrives.

Diablo 4 PC On Game Pass Requires Battle.Net To Install; Lacks Xbox Achievements Support

Diablo 4 seemingly lacks Xbox achievements support on Game Pass. It will also require you to install Battle.net to play.

helicoptergirl29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Lacks Xbox Achievement support? If I played on Xbox this would infuriate me. Surely it's just an error and will be rectified shortly? If they only allow Battle.net's own crappy achievements then Xbox fans need to kick up a fuss about this. I mean Microsoft own the developer.

FPSRUSSIA29d ago

i agree im only on PlayStation and i don't play any game that doesn't have Trophies weird that a Microsoft Owns Them and no Achievements.

Andrew33629d ago

Are you a child? Who wont play a game because trophies and achievements?

KwietStorm_BLM28d ago

I've heard some weird reasons to not play a game but..

_Decadent_Descent28d ago

@Andrew336 I sometimes like getting achievements/trophies, but it certainly is never a game-breaker for me.

GamerRN28d ago

Yeah I strictly play games for the trophies also ... 🙄

I believe it has achievements on Xbox. It is only PC users who are not getting them, if I am reading this correctly

thesoftware73028d ago

Huh? Why wouldn't it need Battlenet on PC? There is no native Xbox GP PC D4. This is just like EA games on PC GP, you need EA to play. Is this supposed to be an issue? wow people really need to relax.

MS owns Battlenet now; they are essentially giving you the PC game that already exists for free.

DivineHand12528d ago

Before anyone gets confused, this is not the console version they are talking about. They are talking about the version of Diablo 4 you download via the Xbox app on PC.

This may be one of the reasons why we haven't seen all of Activision library hit game pass as yet. They would have to implement Xbox achievements to the PC versions of those games available via the Xbox app on PC.
