Xbox fans are compiling lists of all the Activision, Bethesda, and Microsoft games still missing from Xbox Game Pass — and it’s pretty huge

The highly anticipated game, Call of Duty, has been added to the collection of games available on Xbox Game Pass, in keeping with Microsoft’s pledge to delight fans and meet regulatory requirements as a demonstration of their consumer-friendly approach following the merger. For a monthly fee of $19.99, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers immediate access to all new titles from Activision, Bethesda, and Xbox Games Studios upon release. Yet, not every fan seems content with this development.

Yet, Hollow Knight: Silksong isn’t the sole significant release scheduled for September 2025; there are numerous other notable titles set to debut as well.

Steven Spielberg’s interest in directing ‘Call of Duty’ film ignored by Activision — turning down Hollywood royalty to chart its own course

Steven Spielberg has an intriguing history with the Call of Duty series that dates back to its inception. Known for his passion for video games, he co-founded Dreamworks Interactive with Microsoft in 1995, which later developed the original Medal of Honor before being taken over by Electronic Arts in 2000.

The early version of Medal of Honor was heavily influenced by Spielberg’s work, most notably his 1998 film Saving Private Ryan. Spielberg served as a producer on Medal of Honor and penned the story for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, which was produced by 2015, Inc.

Several members from 2015, Inc left the company and established Infinity Ward in 2002. Activision then recruited Infinity Ward to create a game that would rival Medal of Honor, eventually known as Call of Duty.
