Can You Trust Game Pass? The Disturbing Reality of Call of Duty: WWII Security Flaws
I want to help you understand what happened with Call of Duty: WWII on Xbox PC. I’m going to use very simple words, so it’s easy to follow. This is important because it’s about keeping your computer safe when you play games.
What Happened?
Call of Duty: WWII, a popular shooting game, was added to Xbox Game Pass for PC on June 30. Many people were excited to play. Soon after, players started to say their computers were being hacked during matches. This means someone else could control their PC without permission.
What Is the Problem?
Players said there was a big security problem called a “remote code execution” (RCE) flaw. This flaw lets hackers do things like:
- Open command prompts on your computer
- Make notepad pop up
- Even install bad programs (malware) without you knowing
One player even showed a video where the words “RCE’d” popped up on the screen while playing. This made many people in the Call of Duty community worried.
How Did Activision Respond?
Activision, the company that makes Call of Duty, saw what was happening. They took the game offline for Xbox PC. This means you can’t play it right now on that platform. Activision said they are looking into the problem, but they haven’t told us exactly what the flaw is or when it will be fixed.
Who Is Affected?
Only people playing Call of Duty: WWII on Xbox PC are affected The problem started right after the game was added to Game Pass. If you play on other platforms, you are not affected
What Should You Do?
- Do not launch or play Call of Duty: WWII on Xbox PC until Activision says it’s safe
- Watch for updates from Activision about when the game will be fixed
- If you think your computer was hacked, run a trusted antivirus program and change your passwords
Why Does This Matter?
When a game has a security flaw, it can put your personal information and your computer at risk. Hackers can use these flaws to take control, steal data, or install harmful software. This is why it’s important for companies to act fast and protect players.
What’s Next for Call of Duty?
Call of Duty: WWII is not the only game on Game Pass. There are other titles like Modern Warfare 2, MW3, and Black Ops 6. Activision is also planning to launch Black Ops 7 soon, and it will be on Game Pass on the first day.
But for now, the focus is on fixing the problem with WWII. Everyone wants to play safely and have fun.
