Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Is Not A Day-One Game Pass Release For The New Tier
Microsoft recently announced a price hike for Xbox Game Pass and a new tier of the popular subscription service. If you’re already signed up for the membership program, or are considering jumping in before Black Ops 6 comes to the catalog later this year, there are some key things to know.
To begin with, the new Game Pass tier, Game Pass Standard ($15/month), will not include Black Ops 6 or any of Microsoft’s other games as day-one launch titles. However, Game Pass Standard members still get access to a library of hundreds of games, along with perks like multiplayer access and discounts. And then there is a possibility of any and all of Microsoft’s first-party games coming to other Game Pass tiers eventually, we just know that it won’t be right away for Game Pass Standard.
Xbox Game Pass Core ($10/month) members also will not get access to Black Ops 6 at launch. If you’re an existing subscriber of Xbox Game Pass for console, you’ll be able to play Black Ops 6 at launch through your membership so long as you have automatic payments toggled on and remain a subscriber when Black Ops 6 comes out in October. This membership tier is not available for new subscribers any longer, however.
