Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone are coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be playable with Xbox Cloud Gaming from day one (in beta).

Microsoft shared the news this afternoon, adding that it is also bringing Xbox Cloud Gaming support for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Warzone to Game Pass Ultimate members.

This all happens on the same day: October 25th.

“This is a first for the Call of Duty franchise and a win for the community,” Microsoft wrote in an accompanying blog post. “With Xbox Cloud Gaming, players can access multiple Call of Duty games for the first time, and Game Pass Ultimate members can enjoy Call of Duty in more places than ever before.”

This all means that members of Microsoft's Ultimate Game Pass tier will be able to experience the aforementioned Call of Duty titles on consoles and PCs, as well as mobile devices and “select” Samsung TV, Amazon Fire TV and Meta Quest devices.

“This opens up even more ways to play Black Ops 6 from day one of launch,” the company announced.

In August last year, Microsoft agreed to sell the streaming rights for Activision Blizzard games to Ubisoft. At the time, Microsoft President Brad Smith said this change would mean Microsoft would not control the “exclusive” rights to stream Activision Blizzard games.

“As part of the restructured transaction, Microsoft will neither be able to publish Activision Blizzard games exclusively on its own cloud streaming service – Xbox Cloud Gaming – nor will it be able to exclusively control the licensing terms of Activision Blizzard games on competing services.” , Smith wrote last August.

At the time of writing, I have not seen any mention of Ubisoft being involved in Call of Duty cloud deals.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is expected to be released for PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC. You can read more about the game here in Eurogamer's Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 preview, where our Chris speaks with Treyarch's Senior Director of Production Yale Miller.
