Activision Blizzard games expected on Xbox Game Pass starting 2024 after Microsoft acquisition closes
- Activision Blizzard confirms it plans to start adding games to Game Pass in 2024 following expected completion of Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition next week.
- Modern Warfare III and Diablo IV won't come to Game Pass this year due to existing agreements, but more Activision Blizzard titles will be added over the course of 2023.
- Regulators including the FTC continue to scrutinize the acquisition, but Microsoft has made concessions to address monopoly concerns.
- Activision Blizzard acquisition faces additional hurdles, but is still on track to close by Microsoft's October 18 deadline.
- Once the deal closes, Activision Blizzard will begin working with Microsoft to bring its titles to more players through Xbox Game Pass.
