Microsoft announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the highly anticipated next installment in the blockbuster franchise, will be available on Xbox Game Pass on its release day later this year.
This move represents a significant addition to Microsoft’s subscription service and is expected to drive a surge in Game Pass memberships. As the latest Call of Duty titles consistently rank among the best-selling games annually, this strategic decision could potentially impact direct sales but is likely to boost revenue through Game Pass subscriptions and microtransactions.
Microsoft also released a live-action trailer for Black Ops 6, featuring historical figures like Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, and Saddam Hussein, fueling speculation that the game’s setting will be the Gulf War.
More details about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be unveiled during a dedicated showcase following a broader Xbox event on June 9.
