Ever since Microsoft acquired Activison Blizzard last year, we've periodically seen classic titles from the company's back catalogue receiving new PC versions - usually followed by their Xbox Game Pass arrivals at some point later on.
This week, three classic Call of Duty titles have suddenly received new PC versions on the Microsoft Store, and these are Call of Duty 1 (plus the Global Offensive expansion pack), Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Before you get too excited, there's no guarantee we'll see these games on Xbox Game Pass before the end of the year - or even before the midway point of next year. The Spyro Reignited Trilogy received a Microsoft Store PC release in April, for example, but it took until November for it to hit Xbox Game Pass. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 received a new PC release in June, but it still hasn't arrived on Game Pass six months later. Ultimately, it's hard to predict a concrete date.
This news almost certainly means that Microsoft is planning a classic Call of Duty drop for 2025 though, perhaps including even more than just these three titles. We expect these will prove very popular when they finally land!
