Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard will reportedly be finalized on October 13. Many fans are looking forward to what this means for the accessibility of the Activision Blizzard titles, with the main focus being the availability of COD Modern Warfare III and Diablo IV on the Xbox Game Pass.

Activision Blizzard did comment on this speculation and stated “It’s awesome to see anticipation building for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. As we continue working toward regulatory approval of the Microsoft deal, we’ve been getting some questions about whether our upcoming and recently launched games will be available via Game Pass.”

“While we do not have plans to put Modern Warfare III or Diablo IV into Game Pass this year, once the deal closes, we expect to start working with Xbox to bring our titles to more players around the world. And we anticipate that we would begin adding games into Game Pass sometime in the course of next year.”

Right now, you won’t find any of the Activision Blizzard titles on the Game Pass, so you will have to wait. The announcement of Microsoft’s intent to acquire Activision Blizzard actually happened last year, and it was reported that the deal cost an insane $68.7 billion. After the finalization of this acquisition, Microsoft will own major titles like Call of Duty, Candy Crush, Warcraft, Diablo, Tony Hawk, Overwatch, Spyro, Hearthstone, and many more major game franchises.

Many of these titles may become available next year, along with COD Modern Warfare III and Diablo 4. But take this with a grain of salt, as Microsoft will have to deal with a lot of games and think about their accessibility. Having these games on the Game Pass will surely increase their popularity even more.

None of this is confirmed yet, and the only thing you can do is wait and see if Activision Blizzard provides us with another update regarding COD Modern Warfare III and Diablo 4’s availability on the Game Pass.
