Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Releasing on Xbox Game Pass This Week - Report
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 might be a day one release on Game Pass, but it appears another game will take the crown as the first Call of Duty game on Microsoft's gaming subscription service, as new reports claim that 2023's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will arrive on Game Pass this week.
In a new report from Insider Gaming, Tom Henderson writes that he has corroborated with sources that the 2023 first-person shooter will be released on Game Pass on Wednesday, July 24. Rumors that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 began to surface first by Windows Central's Jez Corden, who reported earlier this month that Modern Warfare 3 was coming to Game Pass in July.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the latest mainline entry in Activision's wildly popular first-person shooter series and is a reboot of the Modern Warfare sub-series of games. In our review of the multiplayer component for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, my colleague Stella Chung wrote: "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 reheats and reserves the same multiplayer from Modern Warfare 2 with some extra maps and tweaks as garnishes. This smooth combat remains gaming comfort food, but slower unlock progression makes it harder to get excited about."
Rumors of a previously released Call of Duty game come a week after Xbox announced that it was once again raising the prices of Xbox Game Pass. The Ultimate tier will increase its monthly fee by $3, while the Game Pass Console tier will be replaced with Xbox Game Pass Standard, which will cost subscribers $14.99 per month.
