Activision Blizzard has announced its intention to introduce games to the Xbox Game Pass in 2024, depending upon the successful closure of its deal with Microsoft. This development comes as Microsoft is on the brink of finalizing its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard, awaiting the green light from a UK regulatory body.
While the gaming community eagerly anticipates including blockbuster titles like “Modern Warfare III” and “Diablo IV” in the Xbox Game Pass, Activision Blizzard has clarified that these games won’t be part of the 2023 lineup. The company’s statement emphasizes its commitment to collaborating with Xbox post-deal to expand the reach of its titles globally. The plan is to commence the addition of games to the Game Pass some time in 2024.
The announcement has sparked curiosity among Xbox fans regarding the availability of upcoming and previously launched games via the Game Pass. While the statement from Activision Blizzard hints at the future inclusion of new releases, it remains silent on the potential addition of older titles from the company’s vast repertoire. Notably, Activision boasts an impressive back catalog of “Call of Duty” games, which many speculate will eventually find their way to the Xbox Game Pass.
Furthermore, Microsoft’s recent efforts to rectify issues with classic Xbox 360 “Call of Duty” titles, especially ahead of the original deal’s deadline, have not gone unnoticed. This move and the impending acquisition suggest a strategic alignment between the two gaming giants.
