This is only true under a specific metric they used to make this claim. It does help that their player base is a sliver of what it was at its peak.

Seems like a hooker giving it away for free at 50.

I’m still surprised it isn’t on mobile platforms yet. It felt exactly like it was Diablo: Immortal 2

Is that because the rest of the gamers on PC, Switch, and PS are busy playing ... good games? /s

"We gave the game to 22 million players at no additional cost. AND THEY PLAYED IT! Great success."When you are basically giving the game away for free.....yeah it's easy to be the number one platform

Diablo 4 Will Not Release for Xbox Game Pass Core
Though the action RPG is launching for the service next month, it won't be available for subscribers of its lowest tiers.
Meanwhile, Xbox Gamepass core subscribers:

Obviously, the whole 'woohoo Xbox #1' stuff regarding Diablo 4 is nonsense. You just launched a less than year old AAA game on your sub service? Yeah, no shit you're going to get a sudden surge of players.
The truth though, in contrast to many of the posts here, is that Diablo 4 was a big piece of shit, but is now in pretty good shape. The new patch is looking really good at clearing up some of the remaining issues with itemisation, and the endgame is stronger than it has been since launch. If you own it and it's sitting in your Steam/Battle.net library, constantly reminding you of the money you wasted, it's a good time to give it another try. It's not as autistically complex as PoE, but it's a lot more polished and user friendly than Last Epoch. I enjoy it a lot.

Good to see people are trying it out. I might give it a go after I finish up FC5 and The Quarry. Most of the bigger games get a big boost on the Xbox most played chart once they hit GP.

After playing the PTR a bit for Season 4, at least itemization is a lot better. End game looks to be improved as well by just adding more content. It's a shame it took a year to get to where the game should have been on launch.

That particular style of game peaked with Diablo 2. Everything that came after it, like Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Diablo 3 and whatnot is just live-service bullshit added to the formula without really adding anything to it.
I originally had hoped that Blizzard would've been more daring with Diablo 4, making it a third-person hack-and-slay with just one big-ass dungeon (no overworld) with 99+ levels of depth that the community has to clear together or something like that. And the lower you go, the more surreal and hellish it gets. And it should've been a bit more horror focused as the first Diablo was. And players/player parties can kill each other in the dungeon, claiming money and XP.

I suspect this is a combo of Gamepass players on PC and console. Good news anyway and hopefully we started to see more of ABK games coming to GamePass

Jeez, Ballmer was such an idiot."We gave the game to 22 million players at no additional cost. AND THEY PLAYED IT! Great success."
Anyways D4 came at the right time to Gamepass with Season 4 and all.

Good for the game pass crew I suppose. I bought the game in a sale, and I still regret my purchase. I found it okay for a few hours, but it soon turned surprisingly tedious. In retrospect, I’m staggered it reviewed as well as it did tbh.
I thought Diablo 3 was much more engaging throughout. Less bloat, with more interesting (and colourful) environments and characters.

Seriously . I stopped playing after they needed everything.They're the only ones playing it.
That picture made me laugh.Is that because the rest of the gamers on PC, Switch, and PS are busy playing ... good games? /s
Isn’t this free on gamespass? It reads very much like there are also cherry picking data, ie the time period they are basing this on. Is it most popular of all time on xbox, or most popular NOW, which narrows the time margin to since they made it free on their platform. At which point of course it’s the most popular there, it’s free (or close enough to being free). I guess they need to somehow justify spending 70bn on games to then give them away for a dime on the dollar.

Not yet, but will do so soon.
Well it's a good game ... Until you reach the endgame content, than it is really boring. But up to that point, it is really good.

I will also play D4 again, but only with Season 4.

Yep, and as soon as I can stop sifting through 90% useless items in my inventory with damage on Tuesdays the better. Looking forward to season 4!

Not surprisingly. Most of my friends list are playing it. Most of them dig these games so was expected.
I have also started it. Liking the effectiveness of builds with simplicity. It’s obvious they have worked hard to make it a focused experience while removing all unnecessary fluff.
Not sure how long i will play it but game is very well put together.
