When will Modern Warfare 2 be available in Xbox Game Pass?

Modern Warfare 2 (2022) will join the Xbox Game Pass on May 1, 2025. The title will be available to subscribers of the service: they can access it on Xbox consoles, Windows PC, or stream it via Cloud (depending on the region). For console users, the Game Pass Standard edition won't cut it. They must be on the Game Pass Ultimate tier, while for Windows users, the PC Game Pass will suffice.

As mentioned, when the game joins the service, fans will have access to everything the title has to offer. This includes the Campaign mode, which sees the iconic Call of Duty Operator Ghost return, the Multiplayer mode, and the Raids co-op experience, which builds on the storyline of the main Campaign.

Moreover, if you play Warzone and prefer using MW2 weapons, you can grind them in Modern Warfare 2 to level them up and unlock their attachments.
