Xbox Game Pass: Call of Duty Could be Available for Free

Microsoft's Record-Breaking Acquisition

Microsoft recently made headlines by acquiring publisher Activision Blizzard for a staggering $70 billion. This acquisition brings popular gaming series like Diablo, World of Warcraft, and Call of Duty under the Xbox umbrella.

Game Pass Expansion

Xbox Game Pass has a history of adding first-party games on their release day, such as Starfield and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. Third-party titles like Lies of P have also debuted on the platform simultaneously.

Call of Duty on Game Pass

Microsoft has approached various publishers in the past to release games on Game Pass from day one. With the recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard, reports suggest that the next Call of Duty game could be available on Game Pass on its release day.

A Bold Move

Call of Duty games are known for their profitability, with each entry priced at $70/£70 and over 400 million copies sold. Offering such a popular series for free to subscribers is a bold move that may lead to changes in Game Pass tiers or pricing.

What's Next for Xbox

Xbox's upcoming showcase on Sunday, June 9, 2024, is expected to reveal more details about the future of Game Pass and the inclusion of Call of Duty. Stay tuned for updates!
