Diablo 4 is an online action role playing video game released on June 5, 2023. This is 4th installment of the Diablo game series (as the name implies, of course!). Even though the game was announced at BlizCon 2019, Diablo 4 was released on June 5, 2023, for Playstation 4 and Playstation 5, Xbox One and Xbox One series S and X, and the PC (Microsoft Windows).
As expected, Diablo 4 has received positive reviews from critics. Even though the game was released half a year ago, you must be wondering why I am writing this article right now? It’s because earlier, the game was only available for people to download and play online by buying it through software like Steam and Battle.Net, but now you can download and play Diablo 4 online by having a subscription to Xbox Game Pass.
Microsoft accuring Activision Blizzard
Microsoft accured Activision Blizzard in October 2023 with an eye to add Activision Blizzard games to it’s Xbox game library. Before that Microsoft Xbox Game library had games from major gaming complanies like EA, Ubisoft, etc., which also had their own game passes.
Now “Diablo 4” has become the first major Activision Blizzard game to hit Xbox Game Pass.
What’s an Xbox Game Pass
Xbox Game Pass is basically a Netflix subscription for your Microsoft PC or Xbox console. With Xbox Game Pass, you can have a variety of games to play from their Library, which cost a monthly subscription. All you have to do is pay a monthly subscription, and you get unlimited access to an impressive catalogue of games.

After that you may cancel your subscription, but I’ll suggest you subscribe to their Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (which i personally use) which let you enjoy some of the best games like Forza Motorsport, A tale’s plague, Halo Infinite, Far Cry 6, etc.
Also, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate comes with online multiplayer, which will give you a immersive and co-op gaming experience.
