Diablo IV's Vessel of Hatred expansion launches on October 7, and many are wondering if the premium expansion will be available through Game Pass like the base game is. Blizzard has clarified how players can access Vessel of Hatred, and there is an answer: Byeah, it's.
Vessel of Hatred is a $40 expansion to the game, and purchasing it outright is the only way to access it at launch. Game Pass subscribers can, however, save $4 through Game Pass Ultimate, bringing the price down to $36.
A Vessel of Hatred Deluxe Edition ($60, or $54 with Game Pass Ultimate) and an Ultimate Edition ($90, or $81 with Game Pass Ultimate) are also available for the expansion, each with their own bonuses and additional benefits.
Vessel of Hatred arrives on October 7 with a major base game update for all Diablo IV players that increases the level cap to 60 and the Paragon level cap to 300. The update also adds two character slots additional features, a group search function, plus seasonal content and rewards, as well as a new difficulty system.
People who purchase the Vessel of Hatred expansion gain access to a new campaign, including the Nahantu region, as well as the Spiritborn class, and much more. For more, check out GameSpot's recap of Diablo IV's Vessel of Hatred launch times and preload information.
