We know for a fact that Xbox will be bringing Activision games to Xbox Game Pass when the acquisition of the company goes through - at some point prior to June 2023 - but we're all hoping it might happen a lot sooner than that.
Interestingly, Xbox fans have spotted that certain Activision games like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Diablo 2 Resurrected are currently being listed under "Xbox Game Pass Deals", as you can see below:
Before you get your hopes though, there are a couple of signs that suggest this might just be an error. Firstly, none of the aforementioned games are on sale (despite being listed as "deals"), and the listings also include other non-Game Pass titles like Resident Evil Village, which was recently confirmed not to be coming to the service.
It's anyone's guess, but we're leaning on the side of this probably not being an indication of anything. That said, we're still hoping the Activision games arrive on Game Pass before the end of the year, and it seems a possibility.

Always a sign. Always.
I want Microsoft to have the Toys for Bob staff update the Spyro trilogy for Xbox Series X|S and PS5. It is criminal that they're not running at 60 or 120fps.
After that, I want them to make a new Banjo Kazooie.
Look at the skies! It’s a sign! Hopefully it is. I would like to try the diablo 2 remake.
A new [PROTOTYPE]. If done right, could be an excellent alternative to spiderman.
This is proof gamepass isn’t going to give us lesser quality titles.
Add these and Starfield this year, plus others and it’s great value.
@Royalblues I want them to fix modern warfare & remove warzone from it , it's not going to happen though
@Rural-Bandit the activision games that will come to game pass were made prior to the Microsoft acquisition the proof of quality not dropping will be when new games that started development after they were acquired & release day one on game pass start showing up
@PhhhCough prototype is really similar to infamous
@Would_you_kindly yeah I get all that. I am merely pointing out the value and great games that are coming and have appeared ion gamepass. I don’t buy the whole negative spin that games will be made worse cause they will appear on GP. If anything i believe the games will be top notch in order to drive users into the service and stay. That’s how to grow and maintain users is great content be it movies, music or game services.
@Rural-Bandit time will tell I mean gears 5 was great (the ending felt rushed though) & forza 5 was great too & they were both gamepass day one but weather the quality will dip or not in favour of quantity remains to be seen
@Would_you_kindly yeah I don’t see that happening. Not with trying to compete against Sony and Nintendo for market share can’t do that with lazy games on a service. Gears 6 will be epic. So will Starfield. Hope the rumor of a Marcus Fenix collection is true. I’d buy a digital copy of that day 1, I’m a huge Gears of War fan.
Diablo II?!?!? Still no local co-op though...
I'm not into COD but I'd gladly play them if they came to Gamepass. I just dont like giving Activision my money is all and never have. Long before "the allegations and lawsuits." I'd buy the remasters such as Crash, Tony Hawk and Spyro but that's it. I'll let those slide since they didn't screw those up and I have found memories playing those games. It would be cool to see these games come over sooner than later. As disappointed as I am in Blizzard I can't deny I love their games.
