Game Pass Is Getting Its First Call Of Duty Later This Week

It appears that finally, almost a year after completing its acquisition of Activision, Microsoft is adding a previously released Call of Duty game—2023’s Modern Warfare III—to its Netflix-like subscription service. And you won’t have to wait long.

We’ve known since May that the Black Ops 6, the next major installment in Activision’s mega-popular FPS series Call of Duty, will launch day one on Game Pass. But what has been more atxt of mystery is when past CoD games, like the OG Black Ops, World at War, and Modern Warfare, will be added to the increasingly more expensive (and complicated) tiers of Xbox Game Pass. According to a new report, it seems 2023’s MW3 will become the first Call of Duty game to land on Game Pass.

On July 22, Insider Gaming corroborated multiple rumors from various insiders claiming that Xbox would bring Modern Warfare 3 (not to be confused with 2009’s Modern Warfare 3) to Game Pass on July 24. It’s expected that Microsoft and Activision will officially announce the news on Tuesday, though with it leaking out ahead of schedule it’s possible Xbox will change plans and tease MW3 on Game Pass later today.
