More Call Of Duty Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass This Year - Report
While Microsoft has announced that future Call of Duty titles will no longer launch day-one on Xbox Game Pass, the company is compensating by expanding the service’s legacy Call of Duty catalog. According to reports, Activision plans to bring older Call of Duty games to Game Pass sometime in 2026.
Currently, only six Call of Duty titles are available on the subscription service, with 2017’s Call of Duty: WWII being the oldest entry. The lack of newer releases represents a significant shift in Microsoft’s strategy for the popular franchise following its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. However, the addition of legacy titles suggests the company is focusing on broadening the historical library available to subscribers.
This move could enhance the value proposition of Game Pass by offering players access to a deeper catalog of older games, particularly appealing to those interested in experiencing previous generations of the franchise’s gameplay and content. The specific titles set to arrive on the service have not yet been confirmed, but with numerous Call of Duty games released across multiple generations of consoles and PCs since the franchise’s inception, there are many potential candidates for inclusion.
The strategy reflects broader industry trends around game preservation and catalog expansion, as subscription services increasingly serve as platforms for accessing gaming history alongside current releases.
