- Call of Duty – the implication? That Call of Duty games will launch on Game Pass and might no longer launch on PlayStation, or worse, skip PlayStation entirely.
- Crash Bandicoot – Sony fans probably wish that Activision’s relationship with Naughty Dog will bring the beloved marsupial back to PlayStation consoles.
- Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
- Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice – surprised by this one? While developed by FromSoftware, which has eventually produced Demon Souls Remake as a PS5 launch exclusive, the Sekiro game is actually owned by Activision.
- Spyro
- Skylanders
- King’s Quest
- Prototype
- Geometry Wars
And a lot of abandoned game titles that are due a revival, still owned by Activision:

- Caesar
- Gun
- Hexen
- Interstate ’76
- Laura Bow Mysteries
- Phantasmagoria
- Pitfall
- Police Quest

Blizzard Games
Don’t you guys have phones? Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard will bolster Activision Blizzard’s positioning in the mobile market, while these Blizzard games will most likely feature on Xbox Game Pass sooner than later, and have its future titles launch as Xbox exclusives to some capacity.
- Warcraft – Uhh, Reforged on Game Pass, maybe?
- World of Warcraft – Could this lead to Activision Blizzard making an Xbox Series X port for their storied MMORPG?
- Diablo – Sony fans should start praying to God this doesn’t affect Diablo IV‘s launch platforms.
- Overwatch – not sure if this franchise is still alive at this point, given how long Overwatch 2 has been in development hell, but maybe this acquisition can set the series back on track.
- Hearthstone – Contrary to popular belief, Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is no mere random move, unlike anything most cards do in Hearthstone
- StarCraft – StarCraft III on Xbox Series X and PC and on Game Pass on Day 1, please.
- Heroes of the Storm – this one is definitely dead in a ditch.
And a lone inactive title that is still owned by Blizzard:
- The Lost Vikings
