Black Ops 3 pulled from Xbox One

Bad news if you're planning on playing Call of Duty Black Ops 3 on Xbox One - the game has been removed from the digital store.

A few days ago it was possible to pre-order the upcoming blockbuster title on Xbox Live but early purchasing was suddenly removed this week, with customers being told to head to their local retail store if they want to ensure a physical copy of the game. More recently, the season pass and DLC content for the game has also been removed from Xbox Live as well as Amazon.

Several sites have been reporting this news and also trying to get to the bottom of it. So far the word seems to be that Microsoft had no hand in pulling the game, it all came direct from publishers Activision, who have removed the game from these digital outlets.
