Renewed Interest in Old Call Of Duty Games

In the last 72 hours, more than a million players have found themselves connected to old Call Of Duty games, according to the Xbox Game Pass Tracker Twitter account. A video shared by the account showcases the speed at which players join lobbies on Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3. Surprisingly, these old Call Of Duty games are currently the best-selling games on Xbox.

Unexpected Update Leads to Renewed Interest

The renewed interest from players can be attributed to an unexpected update from Microsoft. The matchmaking servers of the Xbox 360 versions of these games have been repaired and most of the hackers and cheaters have been suspended. Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Activision-Blizzard may explain this surprise update. With plans to host the world’s most famous FPS on the Game Pass, Microsoft wants clean servers to ensure a seamless gaming experience.

Call Of Duty: A Game for All Platforms

The takeover of Activision-Blizzard by Microsoft has led to speculation about exclusivity rights for Call Of Duty games. However, Xbox has clarified that there are no plans to keep exclusivity on Call Of Duty. In fact, Microsoft has made agreements with Nintendo, Nvidia, and PlayStation to allow the game to be played on their platforms. This means that players can enjoy Call Of Duty on Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayStation consoles, in addition to Xbox.
