With the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Xbox has become the owner of an awful lot of games. Yet not all of them have appeared on Game Pass, but that’s about to change (in part).
Activision Blizzard is one of the largest game studios in the world, so a shock went through the gaming world when it was announced that Xbox Game Pass owner Microsoft wanted to take over the studio.
That acquisition is now behind us, but one question remains: when will well-known titles from Activision Blizzard finally come to Xbox Game Pass? To this we finally seem to have an answer.
When are Activision Blizzard games coming to Xbox Game Pass?
When Microsoft acquired Bethesda, familiar names like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls appeared on Xbox Game Pass pretty quickly. How different is the case with Activision Blizzard. Indeed, only last March did the first title come to the subscription service. This was Diablo IV.
Microsoft has already made a promise that Call of Duty Black Ops 6 will be on Game Pass from launch, but well, that game doesn’t come out until Oct. 25. So will it remain quiet for now as far as Activision Blizzard games are concerned?

No definitely iet, as a number of games from Activision Blizzard will appear on Xbox Game Pass in August, according to reliable leaker eXtas1s, who made the revelation on a forum.
For those who think these are old Call of Duty’s, you are wrong. You would almost forget, but Activision has also released a number of other franchises. Among them, Crash Bandicoot N. Sany Trilogy is due out in August.
These games may appear on Game Pass in August
There are also plans for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 and Spyro Reignited, but whether this will be as early as August is not yet clear from the leaker. He also does not yet know if the older Call of Duty’s are planned for the near future.
With Diablo IV we already have a first Blizzard game on Xbox Game Pass, but it is unclear if multiple titles from this part of the game studio will soon appear on the subscription service. Many fans of World of Warcraft would love to see that game appear, but that doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon. That game requires a separate subscription and so far that game is only playable on PC.
