Three Call of Duty games are coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming on October 25th

Microsoft is bringing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone to Xbox Cloud Gaming later this month. This means Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be playable on Xbox Cloud Gaming at launch on October 25th, with Warzone and Modern Warfare III cloud support also getting enabled on the same day.

This is the first time a Call of Duty game has been available at launch on Xbox Cloud Gaming, following Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard last year. “This is a first for the Call of Duty franchise, and a win for the community,” says Ashley McKissick, corporate vice president of gaming experiences & platforms at Xbox.

You’ll need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to access the three Call of Duty games on Xbox Cloud Gaming, and they’ll all be available to play across consoles, PCs, mobile devices, Amazon Fire TV devices, Meta Quest headsets, and some Samsung TVs.

The launch of Call of Duty into Xbox Cloud Gaming will arrive just ahead of Microsoft’s plans to let you stream your own games with Xbox Cloud Gaming next month. I revealed last week that Microsoft is getting ready to test the ability to stream games that you own that aren’t part of the existing Xbox Game Pass library in November.

The test will start with Xbox Insiders at first and a limited selection of additional games, before expanding to more Xbox users and more games. Over the past couple of years, Microsoft has been working to ready its Xbox Cloud Gaming servers to eventually support streaming thousands of games.

Microsoft is also enabling Xbox game purchases in its Xbox mobile app on Android in the US on November 1st. Microsoft is able to do this thanks to a court ruling last week that forces Google to stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps in the Play Store on November 1st. You’ll eventually be able to buy an Xbox game through the Android app and stream it immediately to your device.
