Activision has taken Call of Duty: WWII offline from the Microsoft Store and Game Pass for PC following reports that players' computers were compromised after playing the game.
The outage affects only the Microsoft Store and Game Pass versions, while the game remains accessible through Steam and other platforms.
Streamer Wrioh shared a video displaying the hack, demonstrating the game's freeze and unauthorized command windows being opened, which indicated a remote code execution exploit.
Reports suggest that an old flaw, believed to be patched in other versions, may have caused the vulnerabilities that led to the hacks.
