Activision has temporarily removed Call of Duty: WW2 from PC Game Pass and the Microsoft Store due to alarming reports of security vulnerabilities. Players have experienced issues such as pop-up messages, unexpected PC shutdowns, and inappropriate content displays. The company is investigating these claims, which may involve a remote code execution exploit that could allow attackers to control players' PCs. While other platforms like Steam and Battle.net remain unaffected, the situation has raised concerns within the gaming community, recalling previous incidents with online vulnerabilities in popular titles.

What should players do while Call of Duty: WW2 is offline?

Players should avoid trying to reinstall or play Call of Duty: WW2 on PC Game Pass or the Microsoft Store until Activision provides further updates. Keeping an eye on official channels for announcements is recommended to stay informed about the game's availability and security status.

Call of Duty: WW2, originally released in 2017, takes players back to the intensity of World War II combat. Its narrative-driven single-player campaign and multiplayer modes have been well-received, making it a staple in the Call of Duty franchise. The recent PC Game Pass debut was highly anticipated, allowing a broader audience to experience this classic; however, these security issues have overshadowed its launch.
