It’s a big day in the world of Xbox Game Pass, as Microsoft has added another Call of Duty game to the subscription service. Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (the 2022 game) joined the Game Pass catalog, and it includes the full experience covering single-player and multiplayer.
MW2 is the third Call of Duty game that Game Pass subscribers can play via the subscription service. It joins Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare 3. The battle royale title Call of Duty: Warzone is a free game that anyone can play–including Game Pass members–though it’s not strictly a Game Pass title.
Modern Warfare 2 is playable on Game Pass via PC and Xbox.
Modern Warfare 2 was developed by Infinity Ward and is a sequel to the 2019 Modern Warfare reboot. Modern Warfare 3, developed by Sledgehammer Games and released in 2023, continued the story. According to Deadline, plans are underway for a fourth game in the reboot series.
After Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard, many wondered if Microsoft would add older Call of Duty games to the Game Pass catalog, but as of yet, that hasn’t happened.
Modern Warfare 2 isn’t the only new introduction to Game Pass this week, as Ubisoft’s Anno 1800 also recently arrived. The next release is Dredge on May 6. Despite the calendar rolling over to May 2025, Microsoft has yet to officially announce this month’s full set of arrivals and removals, but the “leaving soon” page has already revealed some of the games leaving in the first half of May 2025.
Activision is expected to release a new Call of Duty game later this year, and it’s rumored to be a Black Ops 2 sequel that could feature the return of a fan-favorite Zombies map.
