Activision games are rumored to start appearing on Xbox Game Pass in August, with Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy being the first addition. This information comes from a well-known leaker, eXtas1s, on the eXputer forums, and has been corroborated by WindowsCentral's Jez Corden.
Diablo 4 and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy are the only confirmed Activision games coming to Xbox Game Pass. Diablo 4 was added in March 2024, while Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is rumored to be released in August 2024. Other Activision games, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Tony Hawk 1+2 remake, and Spyro Reignited Trilogy, are expected to be added to the service in the future.
Jez Corden understands that Microsoft's strategy for releasing Activision games is not to release the entire back catalog at once, but rather to gradually add titles to Xbox Game Pass over time. This approach allows Microsoft to steadily offer a variety of Activision games to subscribers, maintaining interest and engagement in the platform.
