Microsoft owns Activision Blizzard King, so there is no longer a legal barrier to Activision titles appearing on the Redmond-based company’s subscription service.
On Twitter, eXstas1s, who has been pretty reliable about Xbox Game Pass expansions before they were officially confirmed, has now named two more games previously announced by Activision. These won’t be coming to the service anytime soon, as he expects both titles to show up on the Xbox Game Pass list in May (!), which is a good five months from now.
Which titles are they? One of them could be considered a pull title, even though it’s a 2008 game. Treyarch’s Call of Duty: World at War could be the one that will be available to subscribers, according to the insider. The other game is Singularity, released in 2010 and developed by Raven Software. Both are coming to Xbox Game Pass in May. Microsoft’s plan is clear: they want to put the entire Call of Duty catalog on the service (the exception might be Call of Duty 3, as that game, released in 2006, was only released for consoles, not PC).
Microsoft closed the $68.7 billion deal to become Activision’s Blizzard king last October. In March of this year, the first game from the publisher appeared on the Xbox Game Pass list, with Diablo IV being the first swallow. Many other games followed, including Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Call of Duty games Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops 6, StarCraft: Remastered, StarCraft II: Campaign Collection, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Starting in November, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to play some of the games they own on their PC, phone, tablet, handheld, and web browser devices from the cloud. Testers got the feature on consoles in December, with a wider rollout coming next year.
None of this is official yet!
