The end of 2025 left a compelling fact: Call of Duty was the most popular game on Xbox Game Pass, according to official figures released by Microsoft. The franchise not only topped the ranking by number of unique users but also by total hours played, maintaining its leadership consistently throughout the year.
This performance followed the massive arrival of the Call of Duty catalog to Game Pass, a move that boosted overall service activity and attracted new subscribers. Both Xbox and Activision highlighted that the saga played a decisive role in the expansion of the Xbox ecosystem.
