Activision has announced bringing back Call of Duty: World War II to the Microsoft Store and Xbox PC App.
In a statement, the developer announced that the 2017 title was available for PC Game Pass players, more than a month after it was taken down.
Call of Duty: World War II was delisted from PC Game Pass and Microsoft Store on July 4 after hackers accessed players’ PCs and install malware.
While Activision did not explicitly mention the hacking activity behind the decision, it did say that the game was pulled to investigate “an issue.”
The developer had delisted the Call of Duty: WWII from the PC Game Pass, however the Xbox version remains active since its launch in June.
Not much is known about the issue and its fix as Activision usually avoids talking about security issues in its games, saying that disclosing such information would only help bad actors create new workarounds and exploits.
