With Xbox Game Pass, you can download and play as many games as you’d like from the platform’s extensive library with hit titles like “Starfield,” “Death Loop,” “MLB The Show ’24,” “Halo Infinite,” “Forza Motorsport,” “A Plague Tale: Requiem” and others. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate comes with Xbox Cloud Gaming for select games and online multiplayer for immersive and cooperative gaming experiences.

Released in June 2023, “Diablo IV” is a dynamic isometric action-RPG (ARPG) where players make and customize their own characters from the Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue or Sorcerer playable classes. And then, they use their combat and strategy skills to complete quests in a high-fantasy world. Currently, the game is in its third season with season four beginning on Saturday, May 14.

With Microsoft adding “Diablo IV” to Xbox Game Pass, this means other Activision-Blizzard games — such as “Overwatch,” “Call of Duty,” “Starcraft” and others — could potentially be added to the gaming service in the future.

“Diablo IV” is out now for Xbox Game Pass. In the meantime, you can watch the launch trailer, below.
