Activision has brought Call of Duty: World War II back to the Microsoft Store and Xbox PC App after it was removed more than a month ago, though the company has still not said a word about what happened.
A statement released on August 27 confirmed that the 2017 game has returned, and is once again available for PC Game Pass players. However, there was no explanation as to anything else related to the game’s removal on July 4. At the time, Activision said it pulled the game to investigate “an issue.”
While Activision never confirmed what happened, fans believe they worked it out. Call of Duty: WWII was reportedly overrun with Remote Code Execution attacks that had players losing control of their PCs via a security exploit. A similar attack happened to Dark Souls 3 back in 2022, which led to the entire trilogy being taken offline while the security issue was addressed.
