Seattle, Washington – Microsoft has officially announced that the highly anticipated game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, will be available on Xbox Game Pass on its release day. This news comes after speculations and debates surrounding the game’s availability on the popular gaming subscription service.
“We’re thrilled to confirm that Game Pass members will have access to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 from day one,” stated Megan Spurr, senior community lead of Xbox Game Pass. The decision to include the game on both Xbox Game Pass for consoles and PC Game Pass highlights Microsoft’s continued efforts to bring top-tier gaming experiences to its subscribers.
The move to release Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Game Pass signifies a strategic shift in Microsoft’s gaming subscription service. There were previous concerns about potential revenue loss from traditional sales of the game, as Activision usually sells millions of copies at a premium price. Microsoft’s decision to include such a highly anticipated title on Game Pass could pave the way for more blockbuster titles to be added to the service in the future.
As of now, details about the pricing of Game Pass Ultimate and the specific release date of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 remain undisclosed. However, sources suggest that Activision is aiming for a late October release date for the game, which is rumored to be set during the ’90s Gulf War.
Microsoft has teased that more information about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be revealed during a special stream following the main Xbox summer showcase on June 9th. The showcase is expected to feature exciting announcements for titles like Gears of War, Doom, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, providing gamers with a glimpse of what’s to come in the gaming world.
The inclusion of such a highly anticipated title like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Xbox Game Pass signifies a significant step forward for Microsoft in solidifying its position as a leading player in the gaming industry. With the promise of more announcements and updates to come, fans and subscribers can look forward to an exciting lineup of games and experiences on the horizon.
