On the official Xbox program Official Xbox Podcast broadcast on Friday, February 16, 2024, the vision for Xbox in 2024 and beyond was introduced over more than 20 minutes, and there was also surprising news such as the addition of Diablo IV to the Xbox Game Pass library.
It was also revealed that four Xbox exclusive titles will be expanded to other platforms.
Xbox's Future Outlook Discussed on the Official Xbox Podcast
Xbox and its related studio teams have released numerous AAA titles such as Minecraft, Call of Duty, Overwatch, Diablo, and The Elder Scrolls Online.
Communities are being formed around these titles while providing options such as console, PC, and mobile.
The subscription service Xbox Game Pass has gathered support from many gamers, but it also does not neglect support for game developers.
Xbox is investing to ensure game developers achieve maximum success, and most recently, Palworld recorded the largest scale as a third-party Xbox Game Pass launch.
While titles will continue to be added to Xbox Game Pass, it was announced on the Official Xbox Podcast that Diablo IV will be added as the first Activision Blizzard game title.
It will be provided to 34 million Game Pass members worldwide starting from Thursday, March 28, 2024.
Xbox also mentioned the long-term growth of the gaming industry.
As part of this, they revealed that they plan to provide four Xbox exclusive titles to other platforms.
While high-profile Xbox exclusive titles such as Starfield and Indiana Jones come to mind, they explicitly stated that it is not those titles.
It was explained that this measure will provide game titles to more players and also lead to investments in future works and other first-party titles.
In 2024, more than 10 hot titles such as Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avowed, Ara: History Untold, Towerborne, and Vessel of Hatred (the Diablo IV expansion content) are scheduled for release.
The latest information on these will be released at the Xbox Showcase scheduled to be held in June 2024.
