Surprise – Diablo 4 is rolling out on Game Pass early

While most games on PC Game Pass launch straight through the Xbox App, some do require an additional launcher and account. This will be the case with Diablo IV, which is finally landing on Game Pass this week, but new players will also need to sign up for a Battle.net account to play. 

Diablo IV is coming to Game Pass tomorrow, although installs for the game on PC Game Pass have already gone live through the Xbox Windows application. Once downloaded, you will need to set yourself up with a Battle.net account if you don't have one already and then link your Microsoft/Xbox and Battle.net accounts.

Microsoft has shared a quick and easy guide to getting this all set up, which you can find below:

• Open the Xbox App on PC and make sure you are signed in with your Microsoft account tied to your Game Pass membership. Then click on Diablo IV and then the Install button.
• Click “Install Battle.net” when prompted and complete the installation. (If you already have Battle.net installed, you’ll skip to the next step automatically)
• You’ll be prompted to connect your Battle.net account to your Microsoft account. If you already have a Battle.net account you can log in to complete the connection, or from here you can create a Battle.net account to make the connection.
• Once you have downloaded Battle.net and connected your accounts, you can complete the installation of Diablo IV!

As Blizzard already has such a huge presence in the PC market, many of you likely do already have Battle.net accounts, but if you don't, hopefully the steps above will help you out so you can dive in and start slaying demons all across Sanctuary.

KitGuru Says: When this Game Pass date was first announced, Diablo 4's new season had not yet been delayed. If you are a new player to Diablo 4, I recommend taking your time with the campaign and testing out classes, then jumping into seasonal content once Season 4 drops, as it will include overhauls for many of the game's systems, which will ultimately transform the end-game experience.
