The acquisition of Activision-Blizzard-King by Microsoft is undoubtedly one of the largest buyouts in the video game industry, sparking much debate due to the publisher's prestigious catalog.
Among Activision's notable titles are the Call of Duty games. During the trial related to this acquisition, one of the most debated points was the inclusion of Call of Duty games in the Game Pass from their release. Many players are wondering if Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will also be available on Game Pass from its launch. We have the answer.
Thanks to the Summer Game Fest broadcast on June 7, 2024, it is confirmed that Call of Duty will indeed be available on Xbox Game Pass on its release day.
