Ahead of the probable completion of Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition, Activision has elucidated on the potential introduction of its games to Game Pass. It affirms that fans should not anticipate the occurrence before 2024, after the deal gets the go-ahead.
Activision's games are conspicuous by their absence on Xbox's Game Pass, a phenomenon that was expected to change post Microsoft’s monumental $69 billion buyout of the firm behind Call of Duty. With expectations high about the deal concluding sometime this week, subject to approval from the UK's Competition and Markets Authority, speculation of Activision's integration into Game Pass has moved from a speculative 'if' to a definite 'when'.
Adressing queries on social platforms, Activision clarified, "While we don't have plans to integrate Modern Warfare 3 or Diablo 4 into Game Pass this year, post the deal's completion, we plan to collaborate with Xbox to expand our audience globally. We foresee the inclusion of our titles into Game Pass sometime next year."
Microsoft, eager to finalize its Activision Blizzard acquisition, has conceded Activision's streaming rights in the UK to Ubisoft. This follows the CMA's attempt to thwart the deal earlier this year, raising issues concerning the emerging cloud gaming arena and expressing concerns that the acquisition could unduly curtail competition in the ascendant market.
What can we do for now? Of course nothing.
It's only about time.

📰🚨What to Expect from Xbox in 2024?📰🚨 ⚠️MEGA NEWS⚠️
Is the new year finally the one where we witness the long-awaited turning point for Xbox Series X/S? Xbox Series X and Series S are no longer in their infancy. The fourth year of life for both consoles has officially begun for several weeks, placing us squarely in the middle of what, at least on paper, should be an eight-year-long generation. But where do we stand?
Despite the mixed reviews garnered by Starfield, which was the centerpiece of Xbox's most significant launch since Halo 3 (2007), there are compelling reasons for optimism. Hi-Fi Rush kicked off 2023 by proving to be a stunning action game. Additionally, Microsoft has navigated through legal challenges from various regulatory bodies, successfully closed the acquisition of Activision-Blizzard-King, and Xbox Game Pass continues to garner abundant praise.

Microsoft’s $69 billion Activision Blizzard takeover approved by UK, clearing way for deal to close
The U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority gave the green light to Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion takeover of gaming firm Activision Blizzard, removing the last major hurdle for the deal to close.
The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) was the final regulator holding up the deal. Microsoft should now be able to close the acquisition.
In August, Microsoft made a concession that would see Ubisoft, instead of Microsoft, buy Activision’s cloud gaming rights. The CMA describes Microsoft’s concession as a “gamechanger that will promote competition” in the growing cloud gaming market.
