More Activision Blizzard Games Are Set to Hit Xbox Game Pass in August. Crash Bandicoot Is Said to Be First
According to the leak, more games from Activision's catologue will hit the PC/Xbox Game Pass subscription in August. Microsoft's service is expected to be boosted first by the refreshed Crash Bandicoot trilogy.
Last year, after a long court battle, the industry giant, the Activision Blizzard holding, was officially taken over by Microsoft. The completion of this transaction meant that it was only a matter of time before a wide range of AB games would be included in the PC/Xbox Game Pass subscription.
The first game to be added to this service was Diablo 4 - it happened in March this year. However, it was clear that Microsoft wouldn't stop there.
In May, we learned that a new installment of the Call of Duty series, Black Ops 6, would debut on Game Pass. Today, an informant nicknamed eXtas1s reported on the Exputer forum that the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy package would be added to the subscription in August.
However, that's not all, because in addition to Crash, Game Pass will also soon include other popular games from Activision, such as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 and the remastered Spyro trilogy.
In the case of these two items, eXtas1s isn't sure whether they will definitely be added to the Microsoft service in August or later. The informant also has no news about making older installments of the Call Of Duty series available in the subscription.
We may have to wait a little longer for games form the CoD series. It's highly probable because the journalist from Windows Central, Jez Corden, who is usually well-informed about Xbox, speculates that Activision's games will be gradually added to Game Pass, month by month.
Finally, I will point out that all the information provided, while sounding plausible, remains mere rumors until Microsoft officially announces it.
