Is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (CoD: MW3) on Game Pass?

If you still haven’t grabbed the latest Call of Duty, you’re probably holding out hope that it will appear on a subscription service like Xbox Game Pass. So, is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (CoD: MW3) on Game Pass?

Is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (CoD: MW3) on Game Pass?

After months and months of speculation, MW3 is finally heading to Game Pass on July 24, 2024. The news first came from Insider Gaming, which has a solid track record when it comes to gathering intel on Microsoft and its gaming division. Game Pass itself has since confirmed the story.

For longtime Xbox gamers, Game Pass should be a pretty familiar service. But for those new to the console or just interested in learning more, Game Pass is a subscription service offered by Microsoft that allows players to download and play games from a rotating library.

In recent years, developers have even brought new games to Game Pass, allowing gamers to play fresh titles for less than full price. And with Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard last year, many assumed that would mean Call of Duty would continue that trend and bring MW3 to Game Pass. Unfortunately, that took a long time to come to fruition, with MW3 heading to the platform only a few months before the release of the highly anticipated Black Ops 6.
