Microsoft now officially owns Call of Duty publisher Activision.

After nearly two years, Xbox has finally officially acquired Activision Blizzard. At the start of 2022, Microsoft dropped a massive bombshell by announcing it would be spending just shy of $70 billion to acquire Call of Duty publisher Activision. The acquisition is now the biggest deal in the history of the gaming industry and will see Microsoft take over huge franchises like World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Call of Duty, and more.

With all of that said, after all kinds of hurdles to overcome, Microsoft prevailed. The last remaining regulator, the UK's CMA, approved the deal this week. Once that happened, Microsoft was given the greenlight to close the deal and welcome Activision under its umbrella. The deal has officially been made and now, Microsoft can largely do as it wishes with Activision.

When Will Call of Duty Come to Xbox Game Pass?As you may expect, Activision games can now be pushed to Xbox Game Pass. This is a bit of a process, however. Activision has confirmed it will begin making its games available on Game Pass over the course of the next year, but has also stated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will not be available on the service this year. This is a unique situation as all games made by Xbox-owned companies are available on Xbox Game Pass on day one.

What Other Activision Games Will Come to Xbox Game Pass?Activision has also said fans shouldn't expect Diablo 4 either, so don't hold your breath on that at the moment. Activision has an extensive library of licensed games as well ranging from 007 games, Spider-Man games, Tony Hawk, and much more. Given how old some of these games are and the messy nature of licensing, you probably shouldn't expect to see games like Spider-Man: Web of Shadows on Xbox Game Pass anytime soon.
