One of Call of Duty: Warzone’s biggest maps is going open-source

Activision announced that it's releasing open-source data for the Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera map, which is one of the largest in-game data sets released from the franchise, and will allow players to use it in their own projects.

The data set is what's referred to as a Universal Scene Description (USD), which allows for large-scale, detailed 3D simulations of things like the Caldera map. The data, which includes most of the "geometry" of Caldera along with some in-game character pathing that shows how players move, will be available in OpenUSD (the open-source industry standard for this kind of tech) on Wednesday.

Xbox isn't waiting until Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to get a Call of Duty game on Game Pass. The company announced Tuesday that 2023's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be added to the service on Wednesday, July 24.

The announcement was heavily rumored beforehand, with reports from outlets like Insider Gaming, but it was made official on Xbox Wire. Xbox confirmed that the game will be hitting Game Pass for Console, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Ultimate (so every old tier ahead of the upcoming price hike), and it will include most modes, including single-player and the more open-world Zombies mode. It doesn't appear to include Warzone, the series' battle royale spinoff, although that's free to play.
