Diablo 4 PC On Game Pass Requires Battle.Net To Install; Lacks Xbox Achievements Support

Diablo 4 seemingly lacks Xbox achievements support on Game Pass. It will also require you to install Battle.net to play.

Lacks Xbox Achievement support? If I played on Xbox this would infuriate me. Surely it's just an error and will be rectified shortly? If they only allow Battle.net's own crappy achievements then Xbox fans need to kick up a fuss about this. I mean Microsoft own the developer.

i agree im only on PlayStation and i don't play any game that doesn't have Trophies weird that a Microsoft Owns Them and no Achievements.

Andrew33666d ago

Are you a child? Who wont play a game because trophies and achievements?

KwietStorm_BLM65d ago

I've heard some weird reasons to not play a game but..

_Decadent_Descent65d ago

@Andrew336 I sometimes like getting achievements/trophies, but it certainly is never a game-breaker for me.

GamerRN65d ago

Yeah I strictly play games for the trophies also ... 🙄

I believe it has achievements on Xbox. It is only PC users who are not getting them, if I am reading this correctly

Huh? Why wouldn't it need Battlenet on PC? There is no native Xbox GP PC D4. This is just like EA games on PC GP, you need EA to play. Is this supposed to be an issue? wow people really need to relax.

MS owns Battlenet now; they are essentially giving you the PC game that already exists for free.

Before anyone gets confused, this is not the console version they are talking about. They are talking about the version of Diablo 4 you download via the Xbox app on PC.

This may be one of the reasons why we haven't seen all of Activision library hit game pass as yet. They would have to implement Xbox achievements to the PC versions of those games available via the Xbox app on PC.

This game is about to get buried by Path 2.

Still no global chat or group finder.

The emptiest MP game ever made.

We are on the same team brother!

I uninstalled d4 after they kept screwing over the sorc build and I beat the game. I also uninstalled immortal after reading the end. I actually went back to d2r here and there.

The only thing i enjoyed in D4 was the mp side but after they gutted my hunter build then again wanted me to grind for over hundred hours each season i too quit like you.

Its insane though a year has already passed.

Hard pass, gave it a chance on launch with a friend, but we made it a bit past act 1 only to realise how tedious it was.

Is Diablo IV worth it for the Single-Player experience today? I understand it has got many patches and improvements.

Daeloki13d ago

I honestly don't know what they could have changed/patched to make the game enjoyable since last summer. I played the campaign a bit past act 1 with a friend and it just becomes incredibly boring and repetitive. I uninstalled shortly after and haven't looked back. However, with me it may just be a case of that it's not my kind of game. I just didn't enjoy the endless cycle of going into a dungeon, collect loot, teleport to town, sell/dismantle, teleport back to dungeon, collect loot, teleport to town, sell/dismantle... rinse and repeat. That cycle was about 80% of the game back then, completely drowning out the story for me. If there is a demo, or you have a chance to test a friends copy then I'd recommend that before spending any money on it.

I loved D3 and would play a season for weeks.
D4 came out I reached level 60 ish and grew bored, I tried again in S1 and got to the same level and quit. I heard about the loot revamp, and briefly tried season 3 before jumping into the new season.
The game is better because it's easier to feel this progression smoothly increase, without hitting such a large road block, but I am level 61 and in Torment 4, and again I just don't feel the urge to continue.

I found a lack of direction of what to do, the thing that puts me off is the bland world, hell-tides are rather boring. Kill a non stop spawn of demons and summon a boss...

If you can get it for cheap, give it a try, or do a Gamepass trial and play it there.
