Microsoft is bringing last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III to Xbox Game Pass tomorrow. It’s the first time a Call of Duty game will be available on Game Pass, and it’s the last in Activision’s franchise to have PlayStation-exclusive content now that Microsoft owns Activision Blizzard.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III will be available for Xbox Game Pass for Console, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on July 24th. The announcement comes just weeks after Microsoft revealed price hikes for its subscription service.
Microsoft announced price hikes for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass earlier this month. The launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III on Game Pass could soften the blow of the price increases, which, in some regions, are up to 25 percent more. Game Pass Ultimate will increase to $19.99 a month on September 12th, a $3 increase over the current $16.99 a month pricing. PC Game Pass is also moving up to $11.99 a month, and Microsoft is planning a new Xbox Game Pass “Standard” option for new members in the coming months that doesn’t include access to day-one games and has online multiplayer included.
Microsoft is also planning to launch Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the next installment in Activision’s popular franchise, on Xbox Game Pass later this year. Existing Xbox Game Pass for Console, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and PC Game Pass subscribers will get access to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Game Pass. New members will need to subscribe to the top-tier Ultimate subscription to get day-one access to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, or PC Game Pass.
