And I say that from the perspective of being a Diablo super-fan. After seeing the news that there was an "Xbox Series X – Diablo IV Bundle" coming June 6, 2023, for AUD 849, my mind quickly wondered what the console would look like. And if it would be coming with one of those new red Xbox Elite Wireless controllers.

It's the standard black Xbox Series X console and controller with a digital copy of Diablo IV and an image of Lilith on the box. So yeah, underwhelming.


This is disappointing because Diablo IV is one of the biggest releases of 2023, and Blizzard is potentially becoming an Xbox Game Studios' first-party developer in the coming months. So going all about with a custom console and controller would make this as much of a collectible as it would a sought-after console.

I mean, one of these would have been perfect.

That said the digital copy of Diablo IV does feature some bonus items, the Light-Bearer Mount with Caparison of Faith Mount Armor.

The Xbox Series X – Diablo IV Bundle is available to pre-order via the Microsoft Store, EBGames, and JB Hi-Fi.
