Call of Duty Games Resurgence on Xbox (Black Ops, Modern Warfare)
Reports indicate thousands of people are online playing the likes of Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 3 (2011) and Treyarch’s Black Ops 2 (2012) on Xbox. Most of these old Call of Duty games are currently on sale on Xbox, so it's worth checking out if you want to hop on and play a game on the cheap.

How to Avoid Xbox Game Pass Price Hike ($39.99 for 3-Months of Ultimate)
To avoid the new Game Pass price hike, we recommend securing your current subscription for as long as possible. You can stack up to a maximum of 36 months of Game Pass, meaning you have the option to accumulate 3-month subscriptions up to 12 times.
Admittedly, this approach might put a strain on your wallet, totaling $479.88 if you purchase the 3-month codes via this enticing deal we've uncovered on Amazon. However, when you compare it to the new cost of Game Pass Ultimate for 36 months at $16.99 per month, amounting to $611.64, you'll realize you're saving a substantial $131.76 on your subscription for the next three years.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human is Down to $24.99
If you wish to join the hunt to defeat Lilith and save Sanctuary, why not do it at a discounted price? This is the first time we've seen a price drop on Blizzard's latest, and even though it's a small drop to $65, it's still worth considering at that price. Otherwise, Dying Light 2 has gotten an awesome discount and is down to just $24.99 at Amazon right now on both Xbox and PS5. And top things off, Tears of the Kingdom is just $57.99 right now at Amazon, which is a big deal.
