Will Xbox Game Pass offer nice gifts to subscribers soon? Possible, but in any case, there will not be those that some players are asking for.
The first Xbox Game Pass games for October 2023 and it’s still a very busy month. On October 3, subscribers were able to form their own opinion on Gotham Knights, then continued with The Lamplighter’s League, Warhammer 40K Darktide, and since today, Forza Motorsport. On the other hand, you will have to lower your expectations for two big games in 2023.
Xbox Game Pass will be deprived of these two flagship games
The acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which is about to be concluded, should bring glitter to the lives of Xbox Game Pass subscribers, but not right away. It was through a message posted on X that the publisher clarified its position on the Microsoft service. There will be many Activision Blizzard titles in the future, but forget about Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 or even Diablo 4.
It’s great to see the excitement surrounding Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. As we continue to work on the buyout deal with Microsoft, we’ve received questions about whether our future games, as well as those recently launched, will be available via Xbox Game Pass.
Although we have no plans to add Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 or Diablo 4 this year, once the acquisition is completed, we will begin working with Xbox to bring our games to more players around the world . We aim to bring the first titles to Xbox Game Pass sometime next year.
Via X.
Diablo 4 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 in 2023 in Game Pass is a definite no. But from 2024, the situation should unblock, and Activision Blizzard’s plans will evolve. No window, but the company will certainly wait for a drop in attendance and/or MW3 sales to take the plunge. This will satisfy both subscribers, as well as the managers of Acti Blizzard and Microsoft.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 playable for free
At least it says: no Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 in Xbox Game Pass at launch. However, you will be able to try it for free and without needing to subscribe to the Microsoft service. How ? On the occasion of the second beta which will be open and available on Xbox Series & One consoles. Until tonight, it’s still a PS5 and PS4 exclusive.
