Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox Game Pass subscribers will soon be able to test one of the biggest games of recent years. And it concerns a highly requested hit.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers have enough to play for long hours with the games from February 2024. And for good reason, Microsoft has made agreements to have Persona 3 Reload on its service, and in the coming hours, Tales of Arise will make its comeback after months of absence. Two massive JRPGs whose duration can easily exceed fifty hours. For the month of March, you may also sacrifice a little of your social life. One of the best of 2023 will be added soon.
A first Xbox Game Pass game from March 2024 confirmed
After JRPG school with Tales of Arise and Persona 3 Reload, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will see one of their wishes come true. One of the largest hack’n’slash licenses, if not the most important, is preparing its entry. Yes, Diablo 4 is finally coming to the service! And it is also the first Activision Blizzard game to integrate the Microsoft service. The first in a very long series.
“We will have even more games to offer, as we committed to: integrating Activision and Blizzard games into Game Pass, whether they are new releases or classic games from their legendary catalog. We are happy to announce that Diablo 4 will be available starting March 28 for 34 million Game Pass subscribers on PC and Xbox consoles! » (via Xbox Wire). Diablo 4 in Xbox Game Pass from March 2023 for all subscribers? No.
The recent green giant statement is confusing, and that is why a clarification was given after Xbox spoke out. Finally, as with all monthly releases, this is aimed at those who have subscribed to specific subscriptions. This includes Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, console and PC, but not XGP Core. This plan is cheaper than the others (€6.99) and offers 25 games, but does not provide access to the large library of more than 400 titles. Software that is renewed very regularly.
Diablo 4 playable for free for millions of subscribers
In 2022, Xbox boss Phil Spencer confided that the growth of Xbox Game Pass on Microsoft consoles was slowing down. “We’re seeing incredible growth on PC, and slowing on consoles. Mainly because at some point you have reached the number of people who want to subscribe to this medium”.
Today, the XGP has 34 million, a figure that includes former Games With Gold subscribers. The equivalent of the classic PS Plus which has been redesigned and renamed to Xbox Game Pass Core. Given Microsoft’s ambitions and big releases like Starfield or Forza Horizon, that doesn’t seem like much. Especially since it is lower than PlayStation Plus and its 47 million subscribers. A service that has also been stagnating for several months now, and is unable to retain new customers in the long term. With Diablo 4, the Redmond firm has a chance to play, but we’ll have to see if all interested users haven’t already cracked it on console or PC.
