The acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft represents important news for the video game industry, especially for those consumers of Xbox Game Pass, the famous subscription service. Currently, Game Pass has already become one of the main sources of income for Xbox, since Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has mentioned that they are more interested in continuing to increase their number of subscribers.

With the imminent arrival of Activision Blizzard in the ranks of Xbox, it is a fact that several of its most popular franchises will have a more than promising future within the company. However, the question always arises as to how they are going to manage each of the properties. We know that Call of Duty could be ruling out the launch of a new installment in 2023, but there are other titles that also worry about their situation.

That is the case of Overwatch, which was one of the most enjoyed games by the Blizzard community, and which for a time was a fresh air within the company.

¿Overwatch en Game Pass?
Overwatch could find a way to resurface in the purchase of Activision Blizzard. Microsoft has a lot of experience in multiplayer, so they must have looked at the full potential of competitive FPS. For now there is nothing confirmed regarding the arrival of Overwatch to Game Pass, but it is clear that Xbox is going to fully enhance its subscription service with several Activision Blizzard titles.

If Overwatch was one of the many titles to hit Game Pass, we could definitely be talking about a resurgence. Unless Blizzard really gets its act together and starts releasing news about Overwatch 2. For now, the only thing we have are some comics published by the Dark Horse publisher and challenges like the Reaper one that was published weeks ago, where in addition to a skin, a story about the character’s past was published.
