Xbox may have dropped Call of Duty from day one Game Pass, but there are reasons to hope for OG fans

Though Game Pass dropped in price, that came at a “cost” since Call of Duty will no longer be included as a day-one title. However, that won’t affect the franchise’s presence on the service but will merely cause year-long delays to inclusion and, perhaps, allow for classic titles to be included.

That is according to PC Gamer, who says more Call of Duty games will be added to Game Pass in 2026, despite the fact that the next mainline entry won’t be available until next year. This opens up the possibility for classic CoD games to be brought up to speed and included in the biggest subscription in video games, maybe even reinvigorating some of those classics that brought the series to where it is today.

As PC Gamer writes, there aren’t many CoD games currently available on Game Pass. The rebooted Modern Warfare trilogy, Black Ops 6 and 7, as well as CoD: WWII can be enjoyed through the subscription, but the vast majority of the series remains outside of its jurisdiction. Activision can literally choose out of over a dozen games that were never released on Game Pass, including the original Modern Warfare titles, the first two Black Ops games, or perhaps even the classic Call of Duty 1 and 2, if not World at War.

Call of Duty 3, which was never ported to PC to begin with, also has the best chance ever to finally cross over onto other platforms. If I had to choose, I’d wholeheartedly pick Treyarch’s three CoDs that really stuck with me for all this time, on top of the original MW games, of course. I’m talking here about WaW and the first two Black Ops titles, and I’m going for those because I’m currently hooked on stories about the Second World War and the Vietnam War.

Either way, there’s an infinite number of games Xbox could put on Game Pass. And if PC Gamer’s report turns out to be true, then we’re going to be enjoying a whole lot of CoD this year.

There’s a host of different stats in Vampire Crawlers that will define your chances of completing a specific stage. If you’ve played Vampire Survivors, you’ll be well familiar with most of these stats. If not, then you can refer to the following section to understand what each attribute means.

Vampire Crawlers stats explained

The table below briefly explains what every stat means so that you can always stay on top of your deck’s strength and prowess.

Stat	What it Does
Max Health	It raises your Max Health by 10% per rank. You’ll still need to heal and restore your health after increasing the cap.
Recovery	Heals 1 HP per rank after each encounter. Extremely useful to passively restore your lost HP after every completed battle.
Hand	Determines the number of cards you’ll pull when a fresh turn begins.
Mana	Raises the max mana available for you to use.
Armor	Nullify all incoming attacks. You gain +1 Armor per rank, and also increase it by playing Armor cards.
Might	Raise the base damage of all weapons by 10% per level.
Area	Dish out AoE damage from your attacks, which increases by 10% per rank.
Amount	Adds extra projectiles for your weapon cards.
Duration	Allows you to increase the duration of your Crawler’s stay by one per rank.
Magnet	You can draw extra cards per turn.
Revival	Get extra lives.
Luck	Raises all positive stats, along with increasing the quality of your drops. It increases by 20% per rank.
Growth	You can get extra XP.
Greed	You’ll get 10% extra Gold Coins per rank.
Reroll	You can reroll your draw to try and get other options. You get +2 reroll choices per rank.
Skip	You can skip level-up rewards to get extra XP and Gold.
Banish	You can banish cards that you want to avoid from showing up on your run.
Curse	A negative stat that will amplify the damage of your enemy’s attacks. However, you’ll get more XP and Gold.

Typically, the Power Ups you use will have a direct impact on the stat values of your current run. When you upgrade a Power Up, it will permanently raise the applicable stat for your character (the buffs will be available across all runs). However, your attributes will also depend on the cards you draw and the crawler(s) you use.
