Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will hit Microsoft’s Game Pass service, including PC Game Pass. It’ll be the second big Activision Blizzard game to hit the service since Diablo 4 earlier this year.
It’s the full game, including the singleplayer campaign, multiplayer mode, and the cooperative PvE zombies mode—which comes in extraction shooting flavor for Modern Warfare 3.
We’ve known that this year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 would hit Game Pass immediately, but the addition of Modern Warfare 3 to Game Pass was just announced on the Xbox website earlier today.
Game Pass has been in the news this month after a $2 price hike on PC was announced for September, along with a reorganization of how it’s structured for console players—which most people agreed was a change for the worse. The American Federal Trade Commission pretty much immediately called it out as a degraded version of the same service for more money, to which Microsoft responded with some relatively eloquent nonsense.
I can’t say it’s that surprising as a relatively stealthy drop, because Modern Warfare 3 was pretty poorly received. In a 43% PC Gamer review, writer Morgan Park called it an “unessential” game that did little to justify itself or dispel the impression that it had been made too quickly, and should probably just be skipped.
