'Modern Warfare III' and 'Diablo IV' Won't Be Coming to Game Pass Anytime Soon

According to Engadget , Game Pass subscribers will have to wait a little longer before they can play Diablo IV and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III on the gaming service.

Activision Blizzard announced on X that it has no plans to add any games, including recent and upcoming releases, to its Game Pass service this year. Based on their explanation, the company is waiting for the deal with Microsoft to be finalized, which is expected to happen this month.

"As we continue to work toward regulatory approval for the acquisition agreement with Microsoft, we have received some inquiries about whether our upcoming games will be available through Game Pass," gaming giant Activision said.

Activision Blizzard Can't Bring Modern Warfare III and Diablo IV to Game Pass Yet

Accordingly, the company's response said that it expects to start working with Xbox and add their titles to the Game Pass service after the deal closes, and this process will begin sometime next year.

Microsoft first announced that it would buy Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion in early 2022, and it hoped to complete the deal by June 2023. However, some regulators blocked the deal over concerns that it would harm competition and stifle innovation.

The European Commission approved the acquisition in May on the condition that Microsoft make the games available on other cloud gaming services. Meanwhile, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) blocked the deal until the companies promised to sell cloud streaming rights for all Activision Blizzard PC and console games released over the next 15 years to Ubisoft Entertainment... in perpetuity.
