Activision has faced a significant cybersecurity crisis following the emergence of multiple hacks in Call of Duty WWII, since the game was added to Game Pass on PC. These incidents have led the company to remove the title from the Windows store and to disable its multiplayer servers on this platform, impacting players who can only enjoy the single-player campaign mode.
A problem exclusively with the Game Pass version
The hacks exploit a critical remote code execution vulnerability, allowing attackers to run malicious software on players’ computers while they are connected to multiplayer matches. This issue was detected shortly after the game’s release on the Microsoft platform, which has surprised many, given that Call of Duty is known for its rigorous standards in cheat detection.
Unlike the Windows version, the Call of Duty WWII version on Steam does not seem to have the same security flaws, raising questions about the handling of releases and security on different platforms. Activision has emphasized the need for rigorous security checks before the release of online games, especially for those that may attract a large number of players, as is the case with Game Pass.
Despite cybersecurity concerns, Xbox console players continue to enjoy multiplayer without incidents. However, the inability to provide a safe environment for gaming on PC has raised criticism regarding the management of security in titles that, although not new, require ongoing attention. Activision is expected to take measures to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future, ensuring that game releases always meet updated security standards.
