Black Ops 6 on Game Pass Day 1: CONFIRMED!
Microsoft has officially confirmed that the highly-anticipated entry in Activision’s lucrative series, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, will be available on Xbox Game Pass as a day-one offering. This announcement came shortly after the intriguing ‘live-action reveal trailer‘ for the game was unveiled yesterday.
Previously, reports said that Microsoft had been seriously debating whether to include the next COD game in the subscription service. Now, with the official confirmation in the latest Xbox Wire article, all speculation on this topic has been put to rest. Fans can now rest assured that BO6 is indeed headed to Game Pass on day one of its release!
The community has long debated whether the gaming giant would leverage its acquisition of Activision Blizzard to boost the value of the subscription service. Now that they have officially committed to this move and decided to break the norm of a $70 launch price for new Call of Duty games, it will be interesting to see how this impacts the revenue generated from Black Ops 6!
Notably, details about potential changes to Game Pass pricing or the introduction of a whole new tier for Call of Duty, as speculated in recent rumors, have not yet been revealed. Fans can expect to learn more during the ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct’ event, scheduled to follow the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9, 2024, at 10 am PT.
What do YOU think of this latest development? Will this decision backfire on Microsoft with a significant loss of revenue, or is this the right move?
