Summary
Two classicCall of Dutytitles may soon be added to Microsoft’s lucrative Xbox Game Pass subscription service. BothCall of Duty: World at WarandCall of Duty: Infinite Warfarehave now appeared on the Windows Store with the tag “Included with Game Pass,” suggesting that the two games, originally released in 2008 and 2016, respectively, could be making their way to the service in the near future.
In 2023, Microsoft completed its history-making acquisition ofCall of Dutypublisher Activision-Blizzard. The $69 billion deal means that all of Activision-Blizzard’s IPs, such asCall of Duty,Diablo,Overwatch,Crash Bandicoot, and more, now fall under the Microsoft umbrella. While many of these titles, includingDiablo 4,Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, andCall of Duty: Black Ops 6have all made their way to Xbox Game Pass, there are still plenty of Activision titles yet to debut on the service. Currently, there are two recentCall of Dutytitles available on Game Pass, but evidence continues to mount that even more may be added in the future.

Ever since Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, rumors surroundingclassicCall of Dutytitles on Xbox Game Passhave been rampant. Now it appears as though there is further evidence that older titles may make their way to the service asXboxErarecently noticed that bothCall of Duty: World at WarandCall of Duty: Infinite Warfareare on the Windows Store with the tag, “Included with Game Pass.” While there has yet to be any official announcement from Microsoft or Activision regarding these two titles coming to Game Pass, it certainly seems to be more than just a mistake when past rumors and evidence are also taken into account.
Back in December, manyCall of Dutyfans convinced themselves that an Xbox Game Pass announcement was imminent, as various classic titles, includingCall of Duty,Call of Duty 2, andCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, suddenly appeared on the Microsoft Store for PC. While there was no evidence of an Xbox Game Pass release at the time, many found it hard to believe that there weren’t other intentions when the titles appeared on the Microsoft Store. Although unconfirmed, it seems highly likely that olderCall of Dutytitles will be coming to the service in the future, but the real question is when and which games will be added first.
