When Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard in 2023, it promised that we’d soon begin seeing some of the developer’s biggest games on Xbox consoles and on Game Pass. After bringing Diablo 4 to Game Pass earlier this year, another classic Blizzard series joins Game Pass on November 5, bringing two games and loads of DLC.
Following the success of the Warcraft series, Blizzard Entertainment launched the sci-fi RTS StarCraft in 1998. It went on to become a massive hit, with an even bigger multiplayer scene than Warcraft, and spawned a belated sequel more than ten years later. Both games are now available on Game Pass, with the entirety of their campaign content. That means StarCraft is joined by its incredible Brood War expansion, and its sequel arrives by way of StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection, which includes all of its DLC campaigns in addition to the base game. Before you get too excited, this isn’t a console launch for the StarCraft series. Both games are still only available on PC, so you’ll need either PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate to play them.
