Black Ops 6 is the next entry in the hugely popular Call of Duty franchise and is set to launch on October 25. It will be the first Call of Duty title to be added to the Xbox Game Pass service at launch following the completion of Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard acquisition last year.

Microsoft has pulled its $1 Xbox Game Pass trial, just days before Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 releases on October 25th. The 14-day Game Pass trial was removed on October 8th, preventing people from signing up for a trial and playing through the Black Ops 6 campaign without paying for a full month of Game Pass.

Microsoft is bringing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to Xbox Cloud Gaming on its launch day (October 25). In addition, Modern Warfare III and the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone arrive on the platform on the same day.

Xbox Game Pass is losing another five titles on October 31, including a game that has been part of its library for half a decade.

Microsoft has removed access to a potentially useful option from Xbox Game Pass less than two weeks before the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The Xbox Game Pass subscription option might have given budget-conscious players a chance to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for much less than its retail asking price.

Xbox Game Pass has had some pretty big months over the past years with drops including games like Grand Theft Auto 5, but this second half of October brings a lineup that’s going to overshadow everything before it.

Microsoft ends its $1 Game Pass trial ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launch, pushing users to higher subscription tiers. The game will be available day-one on Game Pass, marking a major move for the platform post-Activision acquisition.

The wait is almost over for the next Call of Duty game, and subscribers can play it on day one. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the first game in popular shooter franchise Activision Blizzard to be released after being bought by Microsoft in 2023.

As expected, Xbox Game Pass' offerings for the rest of October mostly consist of Call of Duty games, but Starcraft is coming too.

The eclectic mix of stuff coming to Xbox Game Pass over the next few weeks includes some Call of Duty games, some nasty zombies, StarCraft, a South Park RPG, and a wonderful indie game about a growing hole.
