Call of Duty: WW2 players on PC Game Pass have recently reported serious security concerns involving RCE (Remote Command Execution) exploits. These exploits enable hackers to gain control of players’ computers during gameplay, sparking fears within the community. This problem has been around for years, but it’s gaining attention now that the game joined Game Pass on June 30.
An RCE exploit enables malicious users to execute code on another person’s machine remotely. This means a hacker could potentially open programs, access files, or even inject malware while the victim plays. While it’s not a new issue in the Call of Duty series, many expected Activision’s anti-cheat measures to have improved by 2025.
Earlier today, Activision took down ten Call of Duty games, including WW2, for maintenance. It’s not yet clear whether this update addresses the RCE vulnerabilities, but reports on social media suggest the problem persists.
What Is an RCE Hack?
RCE, or Remote Command Execution, is a type of exploit where attackers gain control over another player’s game or computer remotely. It allows them to run commands or programs without the user’s permission. In the case of Call of Duty: WW2, some players have experienced hackers opening unexpected content on their secondary monitors during matches, which is both unsettling and invasive.

On Twitter and other platforms, gamers have shared screenshots and videos showing how their computers were taken over mid-game. One user reported that a hacker opened inappropriate content on their second monitor while they were actively playing. Yikes.
Popular YouTuber BAMS also issued a warning about the safety of playing WW2 on PC Game Pass in 2025, mentioning that they were disconnected by someone using their own Gamertag. This suggests the exploit might allow attackers to impersonate players or disrupt their sessions.
