The game received criticism for lackluster campaign and lack of meaningful updates over the predecessor, making the third game in the series feel more like a DLC than a full-fledged release.

More Activision Blizzard King Games Coming to Game Pass

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be only the second Activision Blizzard King game to arrive to Game Pass since Microsoft closed the acquisition last year. The first one was Diablo 4, which was added to the Game Pass library in March 2024, several months after the acquisition was closed.

Rumours suggest that Microsoft will finally start adding more Activion Blizzard King games to Xbox Game Pass, starting with the imminent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Other games that are rumoured are Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 Remastered.

All in all, it should be a stellar month for all Game Pass subscribers since the Activision Blizzard King games are just the icing on the cake in the month that had three big day-one releases in Flintlock: Siege of Dawn, Dungeons of Hinterberg and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.
