Microsoft Gaming and Xbox head Phil Spencer said Activision Blizzard games won’t appear on Game Pass until 2024.

“The regulatory process took so long, <…> that we didn’t have the opportunity to do this catalog work with Activision Blizzard. Now that the deal is closed, we’re starting that work, but it’s a work in progress. I think Activision’s Twitter account <…> wrote something about the year 2024, and I think it is. I’d love to see some kind of publication for the occasion in the next couple weeks, but it’s not going to happen,” Spencer reportedly said.

According to Spencer.

Activision Blizzard previously announced before closing its deal with Microsoft that Diablo IV and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 would not be coming to Xbox Game Pass this year. Now it’s clear that we shouldn’t expect older games in the catalog just yet, either.

So far, the new studio’s games may not be added to the subscription right away, as Microsoft simply didn’t address the issue until the final week of the decision to approve the deal.

“I know this is going to cause some disappointment. This takeover has a long-term vision, and the fact that a bunch of games won’t show up on Game Pass on day one is a little frustrating, but I’m excited about the future. And I just want to be honest with people about how we’re doing,” the Xbox chief added.
