No Call Of Duty On Game Pass This Year, But Diablo IV May Arrive In 2024
Portfolio Pulse from Franca Quarneti
Activision Blizzard Inc (NASDAQ:ATVI) has announced its plans to start offering its games on Xbox Game Pass in 2024, following the impending acquisition by Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT). However, anticipated titles such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Diablo IV will not be available on Game Pass this year. An existing agreement prevents Call of Duty from appearing on Game Pass until at least January 2025, but this does not necessarily prevent Diablo IV from potentially arriving on the service next year.
