Black Ops 6 will be the first Call of Duty title to hit Xbox Game Pass on day one and here is how to play and download it.

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.

And Microsoft's decision here also seems to be part of a pattern. The company temporarily removed its $1 offer ahead of Starfield's splashy release in 2023, too. But, remember that you don't need Game Pass to play Black Ops 6. You can buy it on Steam and from the PlayStation store, too, when the game releases on October 25.

Black Ops 6 is the first Call of Duty game to launch day-one on Game Pass. It comes a year after Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which has also seen the likes of Diablo 4 and Modern Warfare 3 hit the subscription service, and will see StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection arrive in November.

Microsoft has made the $1 Xbox Game Pass trial unavailable just as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's launch is around the corner.

It’s not surprising to see the $1 Xbox Game Pass trial quietly removed once again, especially as Microsoft looks to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to boost its Game Pass subscriber n

Xbox appears to have removed the option to try Game Pass for 14 days for $1 in preparation for Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6's release.
