Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Sees Increase in Subscribers

Microsoft's recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard for $69 billion has had a notable impact on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions. The inclusion of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on all platforms, with added benefits for Xbox players, has attracted millions of new subscribers to the platform.

Call of Duty in Game Pass

Despite a recent price hike for the Ultimate tier, a significant number of Call of Duty players have turned to Game Pass Ultimate to access the game. While Xbox players may have seen a decrease in individual game sales, the move has been well-received by the gaming community, with many viewing it as a return to form for the popular series.

Strategic Move by Xbox

By including Call of Duty in Game Pass, Xbox has strategically balanced the potential loss in game sales with the increase in subscription numbers. This decision has proven to be advantageous for subscribers, allowing them to enjoy one of the year's most popular games at no additional cost.
