Quite a long time has passed since then We’re waiting to know Microsoft-Xbox’s plans for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the first installment of Activision’s hit franchise after Microsoft bought it last October. And as you may remember, the Call of Duty saga was placed at the epicenter of controversy and much of the action aimed at preventing the completion of this operation due to pressure from Sony.

Sony was mainly worried that Microsoft would decide to manufacture Call of Duty will become an exclusive franchise for Xbox+PCalthough it is true that practically from the beginning those at Redmond were open to signing a contract to guarantee the arrival of CoD on PlayStation for at least 10 years (something they ended up signing), although they also speculated on the possibility that in its development phase Xbox deliberately sabotaged the PlayStation version .

To dispel these accusations, Microsoft is committed to bringing future Call of Duty games to as many platforms as possible (including online play)., for which he signed several contracts with other companies. The big question, which was also talked about at the time and has remained up in the air until now, was whether this massive reach in terms of platforms would also apply to Game Pass, which, as I said at the beginning , so we waited for news o Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Just a few days ago it was leaked that it would finally be the case, and more recently that it would also be available for the previous generation of consoles, although neither information was official. Finally, we have clear progress in this sense, and that’s it Microsoft has confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be released on Xbox Game Pass on day oneThis means that subscribers to the service will be able to start using it at the same time as those who decided to purchase it. There is still no official release date, although all indications are that it will be revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, which will take place on June 9, and of course we will keep you informed as soon as possible.

Xbox Game Pass is a huge success for Microsoft, a service that has proven to be attractive to a large number of users, therefore it makes sense for Microsoft to make such decisions, which can undoubtedly affect the sale of games, but on the other hand, it translates into recurring income from all players who prefer this model to purchase games. Although Microsoft doesn’t usually provide much data in this regard, it would be interesting to check what impact the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will have on the subscription volume of the service when the time comes.
