Now, players get a chance to play Diablo 4 for free during the Xbox FreePlay Days over this weekend (Oct 19 – Oct 22). While the gameplay is limited to 10 hours, the option to try out the game might be just the thing that some fans need to finally get around to purchasing the game.

Diablo 4 follows the timeless narrative of the fight between good and evil. The story is captivating and Lilith poses as a formidable foe that needs to be taken down by players. Blizzard reported earlier this year that it doesn’t have plans to make the game available on the Xbox Game Pass by 2023, but the next year may offer more opportunities for both the involved parties.

Xbox Game Pass levied more importance by Microsoft

The Xbox Game Pass is among the most-subscribed cloud gaming services in the world. Microsoft estimates the service to generate close to $8 billion in revenue by 2030. Furthermore, Microsoft and Xbox CEO Phil Spencer believes that unless the Gamess Pass subscription numbers grow enough by 2027, the brand might need to exit the gaming industry altogether.

With so much resting on the Game Pass, Xbox fans can help Microsoft see some additional traffic on their servers with the option to play Diablo 4 for 10 hours over the weekend.
