Looking for a new way to play Diablo 4 instead of being stuck at your desk? Xbox Game Pass is offering a great alternative — game from the comfort of your couch!
From October 19 to October 22, all Xbox members — not just Game Pass members — can take advantage of a 10 hour trial of Diablo 4 during the Game Pass Free Play Days event.
Xbox Game Pass Free Play Days Diablo 4 on the Microsoft Store
In an effort to bring newer release games into the rotation faster, Game Pass is introducing Timed Trial games, of which Diablo 4 is one of the first.
Players can experience the full gameplay of Diablo 4 (or, at least, as much of it as you can experience in 10 hours) with no restrictions; it's not a demo that has a set end, so in theory, you're free to push as far into the story as you'd like.
Players who want to keep the fun going after their trial ends can purchase Diablo 4 through the Microsoft Store for a discount during the event, and will retain any Gamerscore and achievements earned.
