On July 17, Xbox kicked off its massive Summer Sale which includes nearly 1,000 discounted games. And as part of this large sale, nearly every mainline Call of Duty game is currently marked down on Xbox’s digital store.
Activision’s Call of Duty franchise was one of the big reasons Microsoft spent $69 billion to acquire the company (among others), so it’s not surprising that the popular shooters are part of the Xbox Summer Sale. What is surprising is that some of these games are still pretty dang expensive considering their age. It’s wild to me that Call of Duty 2, an Xbox 360 launch game approaching 20 years old, is still normally sold for $20. Also, Call of Duty Classic—an HD Xbox 360-era port of the original game—isn’t part of this sale and neither is the recently released Modern Warfare 3. So it’s only most of the franchise. (Also strangely, MW2 Remastered isn’t on sale either.)
Anyway, to help folks get ready for Black Ops 6, which launches on October 24, I broke out all the Black Ops-related games into their own category. So if you just want to get caught up on that part of Call of Duty, know it will cost you $105 to purchase all six games.
- Call of Duty: World at War - $10 ($20)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops - $15 ($30)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - $15 ($50)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 - $20 ($60)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - $20 ($60)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - $25 ($70)
The entire Modern Warfare franchise (minus the previously mentioned exceptions) is on sale via Xbox’s Summer Sale, too. It will cost you $110 to pick all of them up.
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) - $20 ($60)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) - $35 ($70)
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - $10 ($20)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - $10 ($20)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - $15 ($30)
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered - $20 ($40)
Finally, here are the rest of the Call of Duty games currently on sale on Xbox’s digital store. To pick these all up you’ll have to spend $128.
- Call of Duty: WWII - $20 ($60)
- Call of Duty 2 - $10 ($20)
- Call of Duty 3 - $10 ($20)
- Call of Duty: Vanguard - $28 ($70)
- Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare - $20 ($60)
- Call of Duty: Ghosts - $20 ($60)
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - $20 ($60)
Add it all up and it will cost you $343 to purchase every Call of Duty game currently on sale. Normally all of these games would cost $860, so it’s a pretty solid discount even if I think some of the older games (looking at you Call of Duty 3) should be marked down even more.
Of course, the real question is if Game Pass subscribers should even buy these games. I think there’s a significant chance in the future that most, if not all of, these Call of Duty games arrive on Game Pass, especially as Microsoft plans to raise the price of the service soon. Last year work was done by Activision and Xbox to make sure these games were playable again online, which seems like more evidence they might arrive on Game Pass one day.
But for now, if you want to relive 2009 and play some MW3 at midnight while drinking Red Bull, Xbox’s Summer Sale is currently offering a cheap way to return to those glory days.
