It looks like Call of Duty won’t be coming to Game Pass for several years yet, regardless of the outcome of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft&💃rsquo;s deal to acquire developer Activision B🐻lizzard. 

As part of the process of getting the deal over the line, the Xbox powerhouse is seeking approval from various national regulators. The Activision Blizzard acquisition has been given the okay in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Saudi Arabia and Brazil, for example, although the United Kingdom’s competition watchdog 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:requires more convincing. As such, the approval process has moved into a s🐲econd phase, where Microsoft has been given the opportunity to address the Competition and Markets Authority’s concern that the deal could &ldqu🎶o;substantially lessen competition in gaming consoles”. 

, Microsoft argues that pre-existing contractual obligations – like the one between PlayStation creator Sony and Activision Blizzard – would stop it from doing things like sticki🅘ng several Call of Duty titles on the Game Pass subscription purchase right away. "The agreement between Activision Blizzard & Sony includes restrictions on the ability to place Call of Duty ti👍tles on Game Pass for a number of years,” the document reads. 

So there you go, even if the deal does ahead next year as expected, you likely won’t be getting Call 𓃲of Duty with your Game Pass subscriptions for a hot minute. 

This isܫn’t the first time we&rsquo🍸;ve heard about games being restricted from Game Pass. As reported by , Microsoft alleges in documents filed with Brazil’s national competition regulator that Sony pays for “blocking rights” that prevent developers from contributing content to Game Pass.

The news comes as Activision gears up to launch Call of Duty’s latest game, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Modern Warfare 2. The developer has recently confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 won’t have 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Overw♓atch 2’s messy SMS re💮quirements and that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:beta complaints, such as third-person ADS, have been fixed.

When can you play what, exactly? Here’s a breakdown of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 campaign preload and early access time.
