In October 2023,Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzardwas approved by the relevant market authorities, making it the largest acquisition in gaming history. With Microsoft now becoming Activision-Blizzard’s parent company, the studio has access to a wide variety of properties, such asCall of Duty,Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater,Crash Bandicoot,Spyro the Dragon,Diablo, and many more. One of the biggest questions after the acquisition was approved was whether or not Microsoft would choose to put olderCall of Dutytitles onto Xbox’s lucrative Game Pass subscription service. With some of the franchise’s earliest games suddenly appearing on the Microsoft Store for PC, fans believe a massive Game Pass drop could be imminent.
