Xbox has opened its Tokyo Game Show livestream with a bombshell today - StarCraft Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection are coming to PC Game Pass later this year.
Yep, announced by Phil Spencer himself as the broadcast kicked off, these two Blizzard classics are finally being made available on the Game Pass service. Unfortunately, there's no news of a console version here - for now we're just talking PC access via the base PC Game Pass service or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
"Greetings, commanders! We’re so excited that Game Pass members will soon be joining us in the Korpulu Sector. While the entirety of the original StarCraft and StarCraft II’s multiplayer components are free-to-play, we’re delighted to say that StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft II: Campaign Collection will be available to anyone with a PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscription from November 5."
This is one franchise that Phil has expressed interest in before, since purchasing ActiBlizz anyway, so we're not that surprised to see it crop up here. We were perhaps hoping for something more for StarCraft, but maybe that's for a later date. We'll certainly take this Game Pass drop for now!
StarCraft Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection head to the PC Game Pass library on November 5th, 2024.
Excited for this one, Game Pass fans? Tell us your thoughts down below.

I hope a console version follows at a later date
Well, going to be playing this!
Please release on consoles 🙏
Give SC the AOE2 treatment so we can console it up!
So the rumor i read was true. They are going to leverage StarCraft. I heard they want it on the handheld in Japan and MS thinks they can grow player base in Japan with that combo and i agree. If MS is smart with all the IP they have they can be a force. This is great news and i will listen to that guy a little more cause he thought SC would be the way MS would excite Japan.
Great news! Hopefully all of those legacy pc titles they acquired get onto pc gamepass.
I would like to see all blizzard titles on steam at least, in a perfect world without a battlenet login requirement. Starcraft remastered would be great on console too, if the n64 could handle it well control wise, It'll be fine
Best announcement of tgs.
Ooohhhhhhhh mann.....I think I need to get a keybo/mouse setup now And here I was being happy to be controller only and then they do this....
My issue with xbox so why the f you can’t give us this old game on console releasing the same time as pc ? You own the damn franchise and you’re under Microsoft a tech company ! What’s so hard about making these games come to console sooner
@TheSimulator Unfortunately its not as easy as snapping your fingers to get a working console port. Knowing Microsoft, they probably want a console port for ALL current systems at the same time. Of course an Xbox port first would be nice, but they hardly give a damn at this point. They couldn't even give Indiana Jones a quiet six month window of exclusivity, having to giddily reveal its coming to PS5 well before the launch of the Xbox version.
