Summary
Xboxannounced during its Tokyo Game Show livestream thatStarCraftRemastered and StraftCraft 2: Campaign Collection are coming to PC Game Pass later this year on November 5.
This is in liue of Microsoft buying out Activision Blizzard King, granting it access to a rich history of beloved games from the more modern Overwatch to MMO icon World of Warcraft to the ’90s classic StarCraft.
StarCraft Remastered launched back in 2017, while StarCraft 2 was released in 2010. Both have long been available on Battle.net, but this brings them over to the Microsoft Store for Game Pass users, opening them up to a whole new audience.
Fans Really Want A Console Port Next
While these games are being made available for Game Pass users, there’s no word on console ports. But in the comments and quote retweets of the announcement over on Twitter, you’ll find a slew of fans asking Microsoft to finally bring StarCraft to Xbox, giving the series a new lease on life.
The first game is even amongthe Hall of Fame 2021 library.
Making an RTS game feel natural with a controller might be tricky, but it has been done before, and it would certainly pave the way for the long-overdue StarCraft 3. Regardless of whether it happens, if you’ve never tried StarCraft but are already subbed to Xbox Game Pass, now you can finally give it a go.
