"Diablo IV Joins Xbox Game Pass as First Activision Blizzard Title"

Diablo IV will be the first Activision Blizzard game to join Xbox Game Pass on March 28, marking the beginning of Xbox's plan to offer more titles from the studio. Following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the move is part of a broader strategy to include new releases and classic games from the studio's catalog in Game Pass. The deal, worth nearly $69 billion, also involved offloading streaming rights for Activision Blizzard games onto Ubisoft, Nintendo, and other platforms. However, Microsoft is facing ongoing antitrust investigations and accusations of misrepresenting its plans for Activision Blizzard following layoffs and studio restructuring.
