Activision took down Call of Duty game after PC players hacked, says source
Games giant Activision has taken down its Microsoft Store version of Call of Duty: WWII due to hackers exploiting a flaw in the specific PC version of the game, leading to several players getting their computers hacked, TechCrunch has learned.
Last week, Activision announced that it brought offline the Microsoft Store version of Call of Duty: WWII, a 2017 first-person shooter, as the company was investigating “reports of an issue,” without specifying what the issue was. The company had just launched that version of the game, also available on Game Pass, a subscription service that provides access to several games for a monthly fee.
A source with knowledge of Activision’s response told TechCrunch that the company took the game offline due to hacks and while it works to patch the issue.
