Blizzard
Xbox has quite a treasure in its Horadric Game Pass. The latest installment in the successful action RPG series brings its endless nightmares and horrific dungeons to the service. This addition also marks the first Activision Blizzard title to join Game Pass, making the service even more enticing than ever.
“This is only the start of Xbox players being able to enjoy Activision and Blizzard games on Game Pass,” the company wrote in a February news release.
