Modern Warfare 3 has generated excitement among both longtime Call of Duty enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Whether the series evokes a sense of nostalgia or you’re eager to join in and battle enemies with friends for the first time, you may find yourself eager for the new zombie-related content, maps, and more. Following the acquisition deal between Activision Blizzard and Microsoft, many fans have been curious about the possibility of MW3 becoming available on Game Pass. Activision has now addressed these inquiries, but the answer is not straightforward.
While Modern Warfare 3 is anticipated to be one of the most significant releases in the FPS game genre in years, it won’t be added to Game Pass in the near future. In response to questions about whether their upcoming and recently launched games will be accessible through Game Pass, Activision Blizzard stated, “As we continue to seek regulatory approval for the Microsoft deal, we have received inquiries about the availability of our upcoming and recently released games on Game Pass.”
The studio elaborates in its statement, stating, “We do not have intentions to include Modern Warfare 3 or Diablo 4 in Game Pass this year.” Activision Blizzard also mentions that “once the deal is finalized, we anticipate collaborating with Xbox to make our titles available to a broader audience worldwide.”
Looking ahead to the future and the potential arrival of new games like Modern Warfare 3 or even Diablo 4 on Microsoft’s subscription service, the team states, “We expect to begin adding games to Game Pass at some point next year.”
There is no specific mention of the game titles, so it remains uncertain whether the new Call of Duty will be included in Game Pass in 2024. Nevertheless, Activision Blizzard expresses enthusiasm for the anticipation surrounding Modern Warfare 3 at the beginning of its response, offering a glimmer of hope. Meanwhile, there has been a recent announcement of a Steam release for Diablo 4.
