Xbox Game Pass is getting Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 very soon, according to recent reports
It seems like Call of Duty is making the jump into Game Pass with Modern Warfare III, as reports point to it arriving this very week.
Players that have been waiting for Call of Duty to make its way to Xbox Game Pass after the bumpy acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft may not have to wait until the release of Black Ops 6, as recent reports seem to indicate that CoD: Modern Warfare 3 will join the Game Pass library alongside the start of the title’s Season 5.
The supposed confirmation was mentioned originally during the XboxEra podcast, where they stated that Modern Warfare III would be joining Game Pass on July 24, 2024. Given that announcements about the service and other Xbox-related news are typically made on Tuesdays, it’s very possible that this piece of information will be revealed in only a matter of hours after this article’s publication.
However, that is not the only report to mention the date or the concept of the game coming to Game Pass: after the podcast revealed this information, a renowned leaker on Twitter X reconfirmed that MW3 is launching on Game Pass for PC and Console, but not on Microsoft’s Cloud gaming service. Then, the news was further corroborated by Insider Gaming, as well as WindowsCentral’s Jez Corden
The future of Call of Duty might be closer than we thought
The news about MW3 coming to Games Pass is surprising, but not entirely unexpected to hear. After all, we already knew that the franchise would be made available on the service when Black Ops 6 launches later in the year. Given that every entry of the series since Modern Warfare 2 (2022) is being released as part of Call of Duty HQ, it was an open secret that older games would eventually be made available as part of the integration. However, we wouldn’t have guessed it would happen so soon, or so suddenly.
