Call of Duty: Vanguard has been listed on the Microsoft Store as an "Xbox for PC" version, a development that has prompted speculation the 2021 Sledgehammer Games entry is being prepared for Xbox Game Pass.
The new listing is notable because Vanguard previously only had an Xbox console listing in the Microsoft Store. Similar backend changes have preceded Game Pass additions in the past, and the timing follows the announced arrival of Modern Warfare on the service later this week.
Vanguard launched in 2021 and forms part of Activision's long-running Call of Duty series. The Microsoft Store entry does not include an accompanying announcement from Microsoft or Activision, and no official confirmation has been issued regarding a Game Pass release or specific availability date.
Observers point to the provision of an Xbox for PC listing as a common preparatory step for titles destined for Game Pass, but until either publisher or platform holder confirms details, the listing remains the strongest available indicator of possible future Game Pass support.
Pure Xbox first reported the Microsoft Store listing and its potential implications.
