Diablo IV will make a bit of history tomorrow, as it becomes the first Activision Blizzard title to arrive of Game Pass since Microsoft’s massive $69B acquisition of the company last year.
However, if you’re planning on crushing Lilith and her horde in Sanctuary via PC Game Pass, you’ll need to take a few extra steps in order to do so. Microsoft confirmed that PC Game Pass players will need to download Battle.net and link their accounts in order to access the title.
For those who’ve already got a Battle account, that might not be too much of a pain, but this news might make some other gamers a little hesitant.
The good news is that, if you do still want to play, it’s pretty straightforward to get going, and we’ve listed what you need to do below.
