StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection Confirmed for Game Pass

StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection hit Game Pass from November 5, Microsoft announced during its Tokyo Game Show 2024 broadcast.

Blizzard’s sci-fi real-time strategy games are the latest from the company to launch into Game Pass following Microsoft’s $69 billion aquisition of Activision Blizzard last year.

While the entirety of the original StarCraft and StarCraft 2’s multiplayer components are free-to-play, StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection will be available to anyone with a PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscription from November 5.

2017’s StarCraft: Remastered is a remastered edition of Blizzard’s 1998 RTS classic StarCraft and its expansion Brood War. It retains the gameplay of the original StarCraft, but features ultra-high-definition graphics (ultra HD), re-recorded audio, and Blizzard’s modern online features. IGN’s StarCraft: Remastered review returned a 9/10. We said: “StarCraft Remastered makes the original game play as well as you remember and look as good as you remember.”

StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection, meanwhile, includes all StarCraft 2’s single-player campaigns with a combined total of over 70 missions from Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, Legacy of the Void, and Nova Covert Ops. You can also group up online with other players in Co-Op Commander Mode and play as Raynor, Kerrigan, Artanis, Swann, Zagara, Vorazun or Karax.
