Ever since Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard, we’ve seen the console maker slowly but surely bring the publisher’s back-catalogue to its Game Pass subscription service. One title which has not yet made the jump is Blizzard’s World of Warcraft – though a recent email seemed to indicate its imminent addition. Unfortunately, this was apparently a mistake.

In a promotional email sent to Xbox users, Microsoft advertised the addition of World of Warcraft to Game Pass, prompting many to wonder whether this was an accidental leak or merely an error.

Unfortunately, the team confirmed it to be the latter, taking to Twitter to say “this was a mistake on our end sorry for the confusion! Blizzard's World of Warcraft was accidentally included in a game pass email even though it's not available with the service – a correction email will be sent to those who got the original email soon.”

Given how Microsoft has added subscription based games to its service in the past, it is interesting to see that they have not yet done anything with WoW. Maybe at some point in the future, but unfortunately not right now.
