What you need to know
Last week, we corroborated reports that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is Xbox Game Pass bound for July.
Now, Microsoft has confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023's flagship CoD) is now coming to Xbox Game Pass on July 24, 2024.
This will give users a taste of the Call of Duty experience ahead of Call of Duty Black Ops 6, which will be the first Call of Duty to drop straight into the subscription service.
If you ever looked at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and thought "wow, $70 is too much," well this news is for you.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 comprises the standard modern Call of Duty experience, with campaign, zombie horde modes, and its much-loved multiplayer experiences. The game's price has rarely come down from its standard $70 price point, as is typical for Activision games. There's a large cohort of users in Xbox Game Pass who will likely be trying it out for the first time now, giving Modern Warfare 3 a big boost.
The game has had various high-profile seasonal cross-overs of late, including recent features with Fallout, The Boys TV show, and WWE wrestlers.
Dropping Call of Duty in early could serve as something of a test run for Microsoft, who have invested a lot in integrating the Call of Duty HQ app into the Xbox Game Pass system. Going in without a full-bore without a proper test when Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches later this year probably wouldn't have been the smartest thing to do.
Still, getting Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III onto Xbox Game Pass early gives us a taste of what the future of Activision-Blizzard titles will be like for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users, who now get new games day and date exclusively since Microsoft's recent Xbox Game Pass changes.
