A Reddit user spotted Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 listed in the xCloud game catalog, sparking speculation about the game's potential arrival on xCloud or Xbox Game Pass. While nothing is confirmed, this find has fueled rumors about classic Call of Duty games coming to Microsoft's gaming platforms, with Xbox set to hold a summer showcase event on June 9. Both Microsoft and Activision Blizzard have not commented on the matter.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer confirmed that the xCloud feature allowing players to access "owned" games from their My Games & Apps library via Xbox Cloud Gaming is still on track to be rolled out in 2024, although it may be limited to "select" games and require an Xbox Game Pass subscription. This feature would be a significant addition for Game Pass subscribers and enhance the Xbox Remote Play experience.
