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

Microsoft is confirming right this moment that Name of Responsibility: Black Ops 6, the following installment within the widespread franchise, will probably be accessible day one on Xbox Sport Cross. After a untimely notification earlier right this moment, an official Xbox Wire weblog put up has now revealed that Name of Responsibility: Black Ops 6 will probably be accessible on Microsoft’s sport subscription service later this yr.

“We’re excited to verify that Sport Cross members will have the ability to leap into Name of Responsibility: Black Ops 6 on day one with Sport Cross,” says Megan Spurr, senior group lead of Xbox Sport Cross. In a separate trailer from Xbox, Microsoft confirms Black Ops 6 will probably be accessible on each Xbox Sport Cross for consoles and PC Sport Cross.

The affirmation of a Sport Cross launch for the following Name of Responsibility installment comes after questions on Name of Responsibility’s availability on Xbox Sport Cross. I reported earlier this month that Microsoft had been debating whether or not to place new releases of Name of Responsibility into Sport Cross, with considerations from some on the firm that the income generated from typical Name of Responsibility gross sales could be undermined by Sport Cross. Activision historically sells greater than 20 million copies of Name of Responsibility on common, at round $70 every.

It’s nonetheless not clear whether or not Microsoft plans to lift the costs of its Sport Cross Final subscription, and the corporate hasn’t introduced a launch date for Name of Responsibility: Black Ops 6, so there are nonetheless many months to go till its eventual launch on Sport Cross. I perceive Activision is at the moment focusing on a late October launch for Black Ops 6, which is ready through the ’90s Gulf Warfare.

Microsoft plans to supply additional particulars about Name of Responsibility: Black Ops 6 throughout a particular stream after the principle Xbox summer season showcase on June ninth. The primary Xbox showcase will characteristic a brand new Gears of Warfare announcement, alongside the following Doom sport. The showcase will even embrace numerous launch dates for upcoming Xbox video games like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Avowed, and Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle.
