Microsoft confirms that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is coming to Xbox Game Pass

Microsoft is confirming today that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the next installment in the popular franchise, will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass. After a premature notification earlier today, an official Xbox Wire blog post has now revealed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available on Microsoft’s game subscription service later this year.

“We are excited to confirm that Game Pass members will be able to join Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on day one with Game Pass,” says Megan Spurr, senior community lead for Xbox Game Pass.

Confirmation of the launch of Game Pass for the next Call to action installment comes after doubts about Call to actionavailability on Xbox Game Pass. I reported earlier this month that Microsoft was debating whether to put new releases of Call to action on Game Pass, with concerns from some at the company that the revenue generated by typical Call to action sales would be harmed by Game Pass. Activision has traditionally sold more than 20 million copies of Call to action on average about $70 each.

It’s not yet clear whether Microsoft plans to raise prices for its Game Pass Ultimate subscription, and the company has not announced a release date for Call of Duty Black Ops 6, so there are still many months to go until its eventual release on Game Pass. I understand Activision is planning a late October release for Black Ops 6which takes place during the Gulf War of the 1990s.

Microsoft plans to provide more details about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 during a special stream following Xbox’s main summer showcase on June 9. The main Xbox showcase will feature a new Gears of war announcement, along with the next Doom game. The showcase will also include a range of release dates for upcoming Xbox games, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, DeclaredIt is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
