Rumored Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Won’t Be On Xbox Game Pass: Everything We Know About Call Of Duty 2026
A new Call of Duty title is expected to release later in 2026, with rumors and leaks suggesting it will be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. In April 2026, Microsoft confirmed that the upcoming game will not be available on Xbox Game Pass, marking a shift in the franchise’s subscription service strategy.
The announcement comes against the backdrop of 2025’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 recording notably poor sales performance—the series’ worst sales year ranking in the United States since 2008. The franchise appears to be at an inflection point, with publisher Activision looking to course-correct following the commercial underperformance of the previous year’s title.
While an official announcement has not yet been made, various leaks and reports have surfaced regarding the 2026 Call of Duty entry. The decision to exclude the new title from Game Pass suggests a different monetization approach, though details about pricing, distribution strategy, and the full scope of available platforms remain limited as of the reporting date.
