Xbox Game Pass members can start playing Call of Duty: WW2 as part of their subscriptions starting today, June 30. This is the 17th—and final—title to reach Microsoft’s service in June 2025, as well as the 80th new Xbox Game Pass release since the turn of the year.
Developed by Sledgehammer Games with support from Raven Software, Call of Duty: WW2 is the (currently) penultimate entry in Activision’s long-running series set during the Second World War, preceding the 2021 CoD: Vanguard. It was released to predominantly favorable reviews, as underlined by its “Strong” rating on OpenCritic, with an average score of 76 and a 70% reviewer recommendation rate. Call of Duty: WW2 was the best-selling console game of 2017, as well as the third best-selling title of the year overall, with an estimated 20.6 million sales.

PS Plus July 2025 Free Games Show Xbox Is Still Playing Ball
PlayStation Plus has a great line-up of free games for July 2025, including one that shows Xbox is still committed to putting its games everywhere.
Five months ahead of its eighth anniversary, Call of Duty: WW2 made its way to Microsoft’s subscription service, debuting as the 17th and final title in the Xbox Game Pass June 2025 lineup. Since it’s not a day-one release, the 2017 Call of Duty entry is available across every non-Core subscription tier. However, unlike the vast majority of contemporary Xbox Game Pass releases, the first-person shooter isn’t launching with Xbox Cloud Gaming support. This is becoming a bit of a pattern with Call of Duty releases, with Black Ops 6 still being the only series entry currently available via Microsoft’s streaming service.

Call of Duty: WW2 is the fourth installment in Activision’s flagship franchise to make its way to Xbox Game Pass, arriving after Modern Warfare 3 (July 2024), Black Ops 6 (October 2024), and Modern Warfare 2 (May 2025). Microsoft still has a wealth of Activision IPs to tap into in order to bolster its on-demand content catalog, which the company has been rolling out to Xbox Game Pass subscribers at a slow and steady pace since acquiring the gaming giant in late 2023.
Looking ahead, Xbox Game Pass has a rare triple-release day scheduled for tomorrow, July 1, when Little Nightmares 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Mecha Break are set to reach its content catalog. Mecha Break is a day-one Xbox Game Pass release, so it will only be available via PC Game Pass and the Ultimate tier of the service, while the other two will also be playable using the more affordable Standard-tier membership.
Afterward, the next confirmed Xbox Game Pass release is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, slated to debut on July 11. The full XGP Wave 1 lineup for next month is expected to be announced this Tuesday, July 1.
