A number of recent titles from the Call of Duty franchise have appeared on Xbox Game Pass Deals, and while it doesn’t confirm anything, it could be a good hint at the arrival of these games to the service, as was the case for Bethesda titles in the process of acquisition.
Prior to adding the entire catalogue of Bethesda games to Game Pass, Microsoft listed a number of them on Xbox Game Pass Deals, allowing subscribers to purchase those titles at a discount.
Now that the same thing is happening with a number of high-profile Activision-Blizzard titles, including Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019, Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Remastered, and Diablo 2 Resurrected, we can assume that maybe Microsoft has reached an agreement with Activision to add some popular games to Game Pass before the deal goes through.
Having games listed on Xbox Game Pass Deals isn’t something worthy of note, but when we look back at a similar situation with Bethesda titles, it actually rings a bell!
