You can play it here now: StarCraft Remastered and the StarCraft 2 campaign have been included in Game Pass since November 5, 2024. There is already a free version of StarCraft 2 on Battle.net, but all campaigns are included in the Game Pass:

  • StarCraft + Brood War
  • StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty
  • the two expansions of StarCraft 2, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void
  • You also have access to the Nova Covert Ops mission pack and the co-op commander mode

    • However, the games do not come to the Xbox, so they are only included in the PC Game Pass and the Ultimate Game Pass.

    StarCraft 2 is still relevant even after 10 years

    Even though StarCraft 2 has been on the market for several years, there are still tournaments with big prize money. In the Esports World Cup 2024 alone, a total of over $1 million was distributed to the winners.

    According to the Esports Earnings website, StarCraft 2 ranks as the 9th highest-paying game, just behind Rainbow Six Siege and ahead of Rocket League, Overwatch, Valorant and Hearthstone.

    StarCraft 2 is best known for requiring extremely fast reflexes and mental work. The gameplay can seem hectic just to watch, even though it is a strategy game.

    If you are interested in the franchise, you now have the opportunity to play all campaigns with Game Pass. On Battle.net you don’t even pay a subscription. But if you prefer to wait, you may soon get a successor: Insider says that StarCraft 3 is in development
