This happened sooner than expected. But it comes as no surprise: Microsoft has just confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be included in the Xbox Game Pass at launch.

Microsoft confirmed that Game Pass members will be able to jump into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on day one with Game Pass. The game will be revealed in a Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct, which will air immediately following the Xbox Games Showcase - on June 9, 2024, at 10am PT / 19 CEST. "Get eyes on the first in-depth look at gameplay in this dark new chapter of the Black Ops series," said Megan Spurr, Senior Community Lead, Xbox Game Pass. It is the first Call of Duty game to be included in Game Pass.

Treyarch is leading the development of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Rumours indicate a Gulf War scenario. The game follows the fifth instalment, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (2020). No specific platform announcements have been made, but it is expected that the shooter will also be released on PC and PlayStation.
