Activision blizzard games coming to gamepass

Starting with Diablo 4 March 28th! Curious if wow will eventually? 0.0

Edit: here’s the quote and source

I’m excited to announce, with the coming together that we had with Activision Blizzard King, that Activision and Blizzard games are coming to Game Pass, starting with Diablo 4 on March 28th, which I’m super excited to share today. It’s all part of our commitment to make Xbox, the Xbox experience, and the games that we build as widely available as possible.

People play it for a few days every season I think.

I don’t care about the Game Pass as everything I want to play is either already on Steam or from Sony.

Gamepass is available on Windows PCs as well. It is just a subscription service for games.

Tbh the mess that is D4 should really be a wakeup call for blizzard to do more research on current games and make them more like popular ones.

D4 fell so damn hard on its face… No live game should be in that state for this long.

Thinking about the math, if they bring WoW to Gamepass they stand to lose $15/month on everyone who plays WoW and has a Gamepass subscription.

Hearthstone on Switch when???

Cuz Blizz already teased that years ago.

Would be very interesting in my opinion if Microsoft brought World of Warcraft to the Xbox Gamepass. Seeing as World of Warcraft already requires an active subscription to play.

Would Microsoft scrap the current subscription model for World of Warcraft and have everyone who wants to play do so via the Gamepass? Should be interesting to see how that unfolds if World of Warcraft does indeed get added to it.

WoW on game pass is a lose lose situation from a monetary gain perspective.

PC Gamepass is much more likely.

And how would those “6 Month Pre-Paid” mounts work if there is only the Gamepass model?

let’s think…

if, for example, there are 5 million subscribers to WoW…

If Microsoft puts WoW on GamePass and changes the way WoW is subscribed…that’s 5 million more on GamePass.

it will keep those who already have the gamepass and will bring that 5 million there.

Here in my region WoW costs a little more than the gamepass subscription… and I pay for both, so I would only pay for one.

Would MS do this?

What does it look like for those who have registered for 1 year? Would you have 1 year or equivalent of gamepass?

Would these promotions end?

It be smart for WoW to go multi platform, at least the other big 2 MMO’s are, FF14/Old school RuneScape(runescape 3 as well).

Ff14 coming to Xbox, probably not on gamepass, but it be really interesting to see both on gamepass :face_with_peeking_eye:. But I’d imagine wow would get first dibs.

I was actually surprised they even spoke about blizzard, I know the restructuring is going to take a lot of time to be fully in effect.

My other question, will they start requiring Microsoft accounts? They did that for minecraft, halo/SoT require it too but that is first party.

And the ones for the 12.

But my biggest question is are we going to have to pay both to play WoW or will they keep the subs seperate.
