Microsoft finally graced us with its first ActiBlizz Xbox Game Pass addition at the end of March in the form of Diablo 4, and its arrival has given the Xbox platform a huge boost already.
Xbox exec Sarah Bond has revealed that Xbox has become the biggest platform for Diablo 4 since it came to the Game Pass service on March 28th. Here's what Bond had to say about the launch in an internal email to employees; while also touching on Xbox's pipeline of new releases:
"We are integrating Activision Blizzard King titles into our services — we launched Diablo IV into Game Pass, and Xbox has quickly become the #1 platform for D4 players,
We are integrating with Battle.net, all while launching CoD: Warzone Mobile and preparing for the upcoming Hellblade II, Avowed, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle."
Diablo has always been a PC-centric series, so, it's no small feat for Xbox to become the top platform for this latest release. Of course, we're still very close to the Game Pass launch at present and it remains to be seen how Diablo 4 will perform on Xbox in the long run.
This particular game marks the start of what will hopefully become a huge plus point for Xbox Game Pass - Activision Blizzard being present in the library. Rumours are already swirling that more of the ActiBlizz portfolio is coming soon, and we're very much looking forward to that.
Is Diablo 4 in your regular Game Pass rotation now? Let us know in the comments down below.

I loved D4 and bought it when it was released. Played over 300 hours, but then just got burnt out. The new seasons are not enough to bring me back. The entire game was scaled to meta builds and it is almost impossible to do end game stuff without having another screen open trying to copy a build. Instead of just mindlessly smashing demon hordes, the game became tedious having to lookup what skills you need to get a meta build.
Being new to Diablo, playing solo campaign, i have to say I really enjoyed it. I picked the barbarian class and it reminded me of Titan Quest. ARPG. I completed the story, finished off most of the side missions, including seasonal stuff and then finally got bored.
Anything after that seemed just to be levelling up just for the sake of it. I might see what's new in season 4.
I put 100s of hours into D3 and in my opinion D4 is next lvl. Absolutely loving it and can’t wait for Season 4 with all the big changes!
Long time reader and first time commenter but Diablo has driven me well Diablo. For 4-5 evening I have not been able to get onto the game. I have managed to play for 1_2 hours total. Ended up uninstalling it and buying helldivers 2. On a pc

Really? I’ve had zero issues logging in. Obviously being released on game pass would have massively increased player base but I thought the days of error 37 lol were gone.
Afraid not. I was looking forward to his since I played the beta. Really frustrating playing on PC.
Pushing 700 hours on D4 and still haven’t beaten Uber Lilith yet. Still a top 3 favorite franchise of mine if you can’t tell by the hours played 😀
