As Xbox announced at the Tokyo Game Show, StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft II: Campaign Collection are coming to PC Game Pass, and both titles will be available to anyone with a PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscription starting November 5th.
The multiplayer components of both games are already free-to-play on PC, but this will let you experience the single-player campaigns. Starcraft II: Campaign Collection, for example, includes over 70 missions drawn from various DLC, including Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm.
StarCraft: Remastered adds several modern features to the original game, including 4K visuals, enhanced audio, and newly designed leaderboards. The update has been talked about since 2017, but its availability on Game Pass will introduce the iconic 1998 real-time strategy (RTS) title to a new audience.
Though a bit dated, both games still have thriving multiplayer communities, and this is true even in the world of professional competitive gaming, where many credit StarCraft II, released in 2010, with helping to popularize live streaming.
This isn’t the only Blizzard-related news announced at the Tokyo Game Show: Overwatch 2 will be getting some (presumably very expensive) skins based on the anime series My Hero Academia, with the promotion running from October 17th to 30th.
