Why does the acquisition need to go through for Activision-Blizzard's titles to be on Xbox Game Pass?
- EtienneK 3y agoBecause it goes from a hope to a rule. No need to hope that Diablo IV will be free on Gamepass, day 1 (and let's be serious, if ActiBlizz stays independent there is no hope in hell for this to happen) - but if the sale goes through then this will be reality. Imagine Diablo IV or each of the Call of Duties... free... day 1. That is huge value. Something Steam can't compete with.
