Featuring a high-octane single player campaign, energetic multiplayer and the series’ first open world Zombies experience, this game offers something for every type of CoD player,” reads the official announcement celebrating the launch of the 2023 title into the Game Pass catalogue.
Original Story: It’d been rumoured for a hot minute, but Xbox has officially revealed via a post on the Xbox Wire news blog that last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is headed to Game Pass very soon.
The game is slated to arrive into the service on July 25th AEST, which is less than a day away, and will be available to those on Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass or Game Pass for Console subscriptions.
COD: MW3 didn’t exactly light the world on fire when it launched late last year, but it’s a significant moment given this is the first Call of Duty title to be offered up to Game Pass members as part of Microsoft’s takeover of Activision Blizzard and rolling out of its catalogue to the subscription.
As previously revealed, October’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be the first brand-new entry to be included with Game Pass.
It's (almost) go time

We gave Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III a soft 6.5/10 in our review last year, with Toby saying, “This year’s Call of Duty is a mixed bag. Series veterans looking for a great multiplayer experience will find a lot to love thanks to the game’s faithful recreation of some of the franchise’s best maps and excellent gunplay. However, Modern Warfare III’s campaign is one of the worst in the series’ history.”
