Call of Duty: Modern Warfare comes to Xbox Game Pass

The iconic 2019 title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is now available on Xbox Game Pass. This addition is part of Microsoft’s ever-expanding catalog following the Activision Blizzard acquisition and adds a major title to the lineup.

Details on the Game Pass addition

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available for the Premium and Ultimate tiers of Game Pass, as well as for PC Game Pass. The game received generally positive reviews at launch and is often considered one of the best entries in the franchise. The campaign, which follows the story of Captain John Price and Commander Farah Karim, is a standout feature, with Claudia Doumit portraying Farah.

Impact and popularity

Released in 2019, the game was a blockbuster hit, selling more than 41 million copies. Activision has also reported that Modern Warfare’s development costs exceeded $640 million. In addition to its compelling single-player experience, Modern Warfare’s multiplayer component was also very well received, and the game served as the foundation for the popular battle royale title Call of Duty: Warzone.

Previous Game Pass additions

Before Modern Warfare was added to Xbox Game Pass on April 17, 2026, two other titles in the franchise were already available: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) and Modern Warfare 3 (2023). This marks the third game in the series to be added to Game Pass since Microsoft acquired the franchise. Other entries in the franchise, such as Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7, were also included earlier.

With Xbox Game Pass continuing to expand and iconic titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare joining the service, Microsoft appears to be further strengthening its strategy. This commitment to value-packed content makes Game Pass an attractive option for gamers worldwide.
