Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be launching day one on Xbox Game Pass. This was announced via an official blog post on the Xbox Wire website, and while there’s not a huge number of details on exactly how this will work, it’s a massive move to tempt a new wave of players over to the subscription service.
As for when we’ll get these additional details, Call of Duty is getting its own little E3-style showcase on June 9 during Summer Game Fest where we’ll be able to see the game in-action for the first time, as well as an Xbox games showcase right after where additional details may be shared. So if this news has raised your eyebrows at all, those are worth tuning into.
We don’t know what tier of Game Pass you’ll need to have in order to jump into Black Ops on day one, but regardless, it offers a wild deal to those who own either a PC or console. Being able to hop into a new Call of Duty for a fraction of the price is nuts, especially when you can just cancel the sub when you’ve had enough and save yourself a tasty pile of cash in doing so. The aim from Microsoft here is obviously to bring in longterm players, those who will stick it out on Game Pass for months and years and eventually eclipse the 60-70 dollar buy in that Call of Duty usually demands.
