Diablo 4 is finally coming to Xbox Game Pass along with Ark: Survival Ascended /

It’s a day long awaited among Xbox Game Pass subscribers: Microsoft announced the release date on which Diablo 4 will join the service’s library. Rookie demon slayers should mark March 28, 2024, on their calendars as the day on which hell’s gates open and Diablo 4 will be available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S for members without a purchase being necessary – at least initially. All those overpriced microtransactions will still be up for grabs, don’t worry.

Ahead of Diablo 4, some other games will be added to the Game Pass family. Lightyear Frontier is launching into Early Access on PC and Xbox Series X|S today and will be a Day 1 title, same as MLB The Show 24.

On March 20, 2024, fans of thrilling horror stories will have all their desires fulfilled in the form of Supermassive Games’ teenage nightmare The Quarry. Evil West follows one day later and invites you into a supernatural Wild West setting where the undead need some crushing.

Strategically minded PC players will be happy to know that Terra Invicta, a sci-fi grand strategy game deserving of the grandiose genre title, will join the line-up on March 26, 2024.
