Diablo 4 Boss Spills the Beans on Xbox Game Pass Speculations!
Blizzard President, Mike Ybarra, clarifies ongoing speculation about Diablo 4's availability on Xbox Game Pass, addressing the rumors surrounding the highly anticipated game's potential inclusion on the subscription service
Diablo 4's rumored inclusion in Xbox Game Pass has been addressed by Blizzard Entertainment's President, Mike Ybarra, putting an end to speculation. Fans have been inquiring about or circulating rumors regarding its availability on Game Pass ever since the ARPG was announced. The ongoing merger between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard has only fueled these discussions.
In 2023, Diablo 4 stands as one of the most highly anticipated games, amidst a plethora of other notable releases. It is a promising year for Xbox Game Pass, especially with upcoming launches like Starfield. Considering the service's immense popularity and the impending acquisition, fans eagerly desire Diablo 4's inclusion. However, as of now, the official stance is that it will not be appearing on Game Pass, though this may evolve following the completion of the acquisition.
The latest rumor surfaced through PICPay, a Brazilian payment app that sells official gift cards. It mistakenly advertised that Diablo 4 was already available on Xbox Game Pass before the ad was taken down. When rumors like these are removed, it can sometimes fuel speculation. It's possible that it was an early posting or made in error. The news quickly spread among the Diablo 4 and Xbox Game Pass communities, but Ybarra promptly clarified the situation.
When Game Pass Tracker shared the rumor, Ybarra simply replied, "This is not happening." While this may disappoint Game Pass subscribers and Diablo 4 players, there are still exciting things to look forward to separately. For instance, Diablo 4 season 1 will commence later this month, sparking various in-game activities.
Game Pass consistently adds top-notch games on a regular basis. Several games have already been included, with more planned for later this month and additional surprises to be announced shortly. As a highlight for July, Xbox Game Pass has now added Grand Theft Auto 5 to its lineup for consoles. This unexpected addition is sure to provide fans with an enjoyable distraction during a relatively quiet July. Furthermore, Diablo 4 can now be played on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
