Here’s all you need to know about whether or not HOI4 is out on PC and Xbox Game Pass.
Is Hearts of Iron 4 on Xbox Game Pass?
No, Hearts of Iron IV is not coming out on Xbox Game Pass.
This is because the game is not playable on consoles. Xbox Game Pass only has games that are available to play on Xbox consoles. Hearts of Iron 4 only came out for Microsoft Windows, Linux and MacOS. Players looking to play Hearts of Iron 4 can only play it on PC by downloading it through Steam or the Microsoft Store. There has been no official announcement by the developers for a console release.

No, Hearts of Iron IV is not currently out on PC Game Pass.
The game has been part of the PC Game Pass catalog since November 2019. It was removed from Game Pass on May 15, 2023. Players who purchased DLCs for the game while playing it with Game Pass will have to buy the game from the Microsoft Store to continue playing it with the purchased content.
Can you play Hearts of Iron IV via Game Pass?
Unfortunately, you cannot play Hearts of Iron 4 via Xbox or PC Game Pass anymore. This is because the developers took down the game from the catalog in May 2023.

However, any DLCs purchased by the player while playing the game with Game Pass earlier will not be added to the Steam version of the game.
