While Activision might be better known these days for Call of Duty, back in the ‘80s, it got its start developing games for Atari consoles. When Microsoft’s merger with Activision was completed in 2023, it gained access to all those old games, and it seems like they will make up the majority of the Retro Classics line on Xbox Game Pass—though Microsoft does say it’s getting some help for the line from partner game streaming service Antstream Arcade, so who knows where it will go in the future. In the meantime, while Retro Classics might sound akin to Nintendo’s Switch Online library, expect more "Pitfall Harry" than "Super Mario." In other words, they're going the oldest of old school here.
I’d still give PlayStation Plus and Nintendo Switch Online the edge over Xbox when it comes to retro games, but that skepticism aside, this is still a nice start. Retro Classics is launching with about 60 games, with plans to add more Activision and even Blizzard titles over time, eventually landing around what Microsoft says will be “100+ titles.”
That last note is promising: Activision’s later titles include games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and since no Warcraft or Starcraft titles are currently on Game Pass, there’s plenty of room for Retro Classics to grow appreciably down the road.
